From the beginning of time, man has been in awe of the mysteries of nature which seem to elevate woman to a position much nearer the gods than any other we know. In this book, distinguished folklorist Tristram Potter Coffin considers the most legendary women- Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Guinevere, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Mata Hari, and Sarah Bernhardt among them- separating the face from the fiction that surrounds these full-blooded figures who had their faults but nonetheless achieved far-reaching influence over their men and their worlds. - from the back cover
