Sumár recenzie
Kniha Bohyne a hrdinky od Jean Menzies (ilustrácie Katie Ponder) ponúka široký prehľad ženských postáv mýtov z celého sveta, usporiadaných do častí Bohyne, Zázračné bytosti, Smrteľné bytosti a Záznamy mýtov. Autorka stručne a zrozumiteľne sprístupňuje príbehy známych i menej známych postáv (napr. Baba Jaga, Meluzína, Pandora, Mulan) a vysvetľuje, ako sa tieto príbehy dochovali ústne i písomne alebo v artefaktoch. Výrazné štylizované ilustrácie a prehľadný formát so striedaním krátkych a dlhších textov robia knihu ideálnou pre deti od 8 rokov a zároveň užitočným úvodom pre starších čitateľov. Recenzentka knihu chváli a odporúča ju spolu s ďalšími dielami série Ilustrovaná mytológia; vydal Slovart, 2024.
