Dear Grace,
These are all paper backs. I have others, but consider these the
best
"Goddess Mother of Living Nature" Adele Getty, Thames & Hudson,
500-5th Ave, NYC 10110, no date, but it looks recent I think
Getty is an anthropologist. Brief, cogent history; lots of good
photos.
"The Goddess Re-awakeining" Shirley Nicholson compiler, Quest
Books, Wheaton. 1989, An anthology
"When God Was a Woman", Merlin Stone, Harcourt Brace, 1976
Thorough description of goddesses in ancient times.
"The Once & Future Goddess", Elinor W. Gadon, Harper Collins
1989. This is a historical account from stone age to present
day. Profusely illustrated. Some of the pictures are quite
graphic.
"Women oif Wisdom", Tsultrim Allione, Arkana Paperbacks -
Routledge & Keegan Paul, 1994,6, biographies of 6 Tibetan female
mystics.
"Woman as Healer", Jeanne Achterberg, Shambalah Publishing, 1990,
describes healers & their methods from ancient times to 20th
cent.
"Bodhisattva of Compassion, The Mystical tradition of Kuan Yin",

tales about Kuan Yin.
"The Book of Goddesses & Heroines" Patricia Managhan, Lewelllyn
Publications, St. Paul 55164, 1990, (first published by EP

Hope this is helpful.
