Review:
How did the early lives of real mothers, daughters and wives match the myths of Celtic women witches, warriors, and women? This title blends myth considerations with history and cultural insights, exploring history and literature to probe the reality of Celtic women's lives. An excellent supplement to any coverage of Celtic history and legend, this will appeal to both leisure audiences and those involved in Celtic studies. -- Midwest Book Review
