Evolution of Goddess: A Modern Girl's Guide to Activating Your Feminine Superpowers by Emma Mildon

1.0

this is perhaps the worst book i have ever read in my life. the author’s tone tries too hard to be casual and relatable (think “you go girl!” every other line). her diction is heteronormative and assumes that all women are on the same life path (ie stating that a first boyfriend is significant for every woman, and assuming that all women want to have children). her “empowering” messages aren’t especially empowering, and her book conveys the message that women and men (her belief that there are only two genders is also problematic) are inherently “separate but equal.” i was hoping that i could get through the almost condescending tone of the first few chapters, but had to give up on the book because there is a lot of misinformation regarding astrology and other occult topics. also, there is an underwhelming amount of sources cited in a book that clearly draws on many disciplines and mythologies that require research and citations. overall i found the book to be boring, basic, and full of inaccuracies.
