Girls, Goddesses and Giants

I read this one along with Winter's Tales and I loved it. Perhaps, I loved it even more because here, we have Girl Power lasting through the ages. Intelligence, bravery, strength and charm from every corner of the Earth.
''Chi and the Seven-headed Dragon''- A Chinese tale.
''Inanna and the Box of Monsters''- A Sumerian myth.
''Telesilla and the Gates of Argos''- The myth of the woman who saved Argos from the Spartans.
''Durga and the Demon''- A spectacular tale from India.
''Kopecho and the Two Suns''-A tale from Venezuela.
''Mbango abd the Whirlpool''- A folktale from Cameroon.
''Hervor and the Cursed Sword''- A Norse tale, probably from Norway.
''Visiting Baba Yaga''- A legend from the forests of Russia.
''Aliquipiso and the Cliffs''-A Native Americal tale of the Oneida.
''Tokoyo and the Skin Rope''- A Japanese myth.
''The Giant's Heart''- A Scottish tale.

Well, hard to return to reality after all the myths and fairytales....
