1782. Nancy Lockaby is trying to salvage her reputation as an astronomer - left in tatters after a discredited discovery - when she receives a mysterious letter, inviting her to join Shakespeare scholar Caelan Malles at his crumbling house in Inverness.But at Blackthistle House, Nancy notices that Caelan is spending more and more time locked away inhis study with his books. As his behaviour becomes ever stranger, more questions gnaw at Nancy. Why does Caelan believe there is a link between Shakespeare and the stars? Why does he refuse to discuss Charlotte, his now-deceased wife? And why does he head, at night, to the cottage where live three strange women he calls hags? Nancy refuses to believe in anything that cannot be rationally explained. And yet, as she seeks to discover the answers, she sets in motion a chain of events that will change her life - and her perceptions of magic - for ever . . .

Meet mythology’s fifty fiercest females in this modern retelling of the world’s greatest legends. From feminist fairies to bloodsucking temptresses, half-human harpies and protective Vodou goddesses, these are women who go beyond long-haired, smiling stereotypes. Their stories are so powerful, so entrancing, that they have survived for millennia. Lovingly retold and updated, Kate Hodges places each heroine, rebel and provocateur fimly at the centre of their own narrative. Players include: Bewitching, banished Circe, an introvert famed and feared for her transfigurative powers. The righteous Furies, defiantly unrepentant about their dedication to justice. Fun-loving Ame-no-Uzume who makes quarrelling friends laugh and terrifies monsters by flashing at them. The fateful Morai sisters who spin a complex web of birth, life and death. Find your tribe, fire your imagination and be empowered by this essential anthology of notorious, demonised and overlooked women.

Gemeinsam an die Spitze: Frauenpower aus drei Jahrhunderten beleuchtet die überraschenden Verbindungen zwischen erfolgreichen Frauen durch 85 fesselnde Lebensgeschichten. Kate Hodges thematisiert nicht nur bekannte Persönlichkeiten wie Queen Victoria und Marie Curie, sondern auch jene, die im Stillen Großes bewirkten. Die Erzählungen umfassen Spioninnen, die geheime Informationen transportierten, Filmstars, die technologische Grundlagen schufen, und Sklavinnen, die viele in die Freiheit führten. Hinter jeder starken Frau steht oft eine andere, die sie unterstützt hat. Das Buch thematisiert ungewöhnliche Frauenfreundschaften, heimliche Vorbilder und mutige Allianzen sowie den langen Kampf für Frauenrechte und Feminismus vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Die Leserinnen werden auf eine Reise durch drei Jahrhunderte mitgenommen, um einflussreiche, starke Frauen und ihr geheimes Netzwerk kennenzulernen. Trotz Spott und Ignoranz ließen sich diese Powerfrauen nicht beirren und inspirieren bis heute im Kampf gegen Benachteiligung und Unterdrückung. Die ausdrucksstarken Illustrationen von Sarah Papworth unterstreichen die Stärke jeder Einzelnen und machen das Buch zu einem kraftvollen Werk für Mädchen und Frauen.
