Discover twenty-two âbad-girlâ goddesses from cultures around the world in this other-worldly guide by the author of Tender Murderers and Wild Irish Roses. Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological âbad girlâ goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, award-winning feminist cartoonist, takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses. The earliest proponents of sexual equality, they slip mickeys into drinks, have catfights with their sisters, get even when they get dumped, fight, kill, and generally have a great time. Youâll read about Osmotar, the Finnish witch who created beer, Freyaâthe original Snow Whiteâwho slept with dwarfs to get a famous diamond necklace, Jezebel, Kali, and others. Thoroughly delightful, Eternally Bad shows us how women with the ultimate attitude can have fun. Plus, thereâs even a test to help you discover your own inner bitch goddess! Praise for Eternally Bad âRobbins reveals a genuine love and respect for the kickass Goddesses and mythologies she writes about and the tales that she retells. A great introduction to a wonderful subject.â âNeil Gaiman, New York Timesâbestselling author of American Gods âRobbins shows us the soap opera lives of bitch Goddesses whoâd sooner turn you into a wild boar than bless your drum circle.â âMichelle Tea, author of Valencia, Against Memoir, and Without a Net âIf you enjoy Goddess humor, Trina Robbins is your writer! She rocks the old mythology while teaching it. Eternally Bad is consistently excellent!â âZsuzsanna Budapest, author of Summoning the Fates and Grandmother Moon
