A review by ginalucia
Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths by Helen Morales

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

 Antigone Rising is an inclusive and thought-provoking read that's well worth your time.

This book is a brilliant example of inclusive feminism at its finest. If you’re looking for something that hits all the marks and leaves you fired up, this is it.

While most of the book leans towards anecdotal thoughts rather than heavy research, Morales's inclusion of personal stories, including her own and those of her daughter, adds an intimate touch to the book. It makes the whole experience feel both personal and relevant. Which I enjoyed.

Of course let’s not forget about the mythology references. I very much enjoyed the comparisons of modern-day justice to ancient myth. It gave each chapter weight and a new perspective that personally worked well for me.
