Author: Robbins, Trina

Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological "bad girl" goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, one the most famous feminist cartoonists of our time, takes off the white gloves and relates the tales of twenty nasty, bitchy, totally amusing and utterly enjoyable goddesses. The earliest proponents of sexual equality, they slip mickeys into drinks, sleep with dwarves, have catfights with their sisters, get even when they get dumped, fight, kill, and generally have a great time.

Read about Innanna, the Sumerian goddess, who plied the god of wisdom with so much beer she was able to steal all of his powers. Freya was the original Snow White, a Norse goddess who slept with dwarves to get a famous diamond necklace. Then there is Lilith, who was created by God equal to Adam, but had this thing about wanting to take charge and be on top!

From author Trina Robbins: "The New Age goddess, who has been turned into a kind of virgin Mary with crystals, is no fun. Bad girls are always more interesting than good girls?I have always preferred Veronica to Betty." Thoroughly sinful, Eternally.
