  Discover twenty-two “bad-girl” goddesses from cultures around the world in this other-worldly guide by the author of Tender Murderers and Wild Irish Roses. 
   
  Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological “bad girl” goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, award-winning feminist cartoonist, takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses. The earliest proponents of sexual equality, they slip mickeys into drinks, have catfights with their sisters, get even when they get dumped, fight, kill, and generally have a great time. You’ll read about Osmotar, the Finnish witch who created beer, Freya—the original Snow White—who slept with dwarfs to get a famous diamond necklace, Jezebel, Kali, and others. Thoroughly delightful, Eternally Bad shows us how women with the ultimate attitude can have fun. Plus, there’s even a test to help you discover your own inner bitch goddess! 
   
  Praise for Eternally Bad 
   
  “Robbins reveals a genuine love and respect for the kickass Goddesses and mythologies she writes about and the tales that she retells. A great introduction to a wonderful subject.” —Neil Gaiman, New York Times–bestselling author of American Gods 
   
  “Robbins shows us the soap opera lives of bitch Goddesses who’d sooner turn you into a wild boar than bless your drum circle.” —Michelle Tea, author of Valencia, Against Memoir, and Without a Net 
   
  “If you enjoy Goddess humor, Trina Robbins is your writer! She rocks the old mythology while teaching it. Eternally Bad is consistently excellent!” —Zsuzsanna Budapest, author of Summoning the Fates and Grandmother Moon

  A Delicious Way to Earn a Living...

  “A great journalist, passionate about food” (Gordon Ramsay).   Michael Bateman was the father of modern food journalism. He began writing about food in England during the 1960s, when the average British culinary experience was limited to fish and chips. At the time, it was a subject national newspapers scarcely bothered with.   Among other accomplishments, he was the first journalist to write detailed exposés on issues such as food additives. His wit, humor, erudition, and passion for his subject poured off the pages week after week as he researched his articles, often disappearing for days if not weeks to cover every possible angle and talk to every expert. Eventually he became a prominent editor—and nurtured food writers of the next generation, such as Sophie Grigson and Oz Clarke.   This collection includes some of his best work, spanning several decades—on topics as wide-ranging as Australian cuisine; veganism; food marketing; French wine; and Coca-Cola.
