This book recommendation is on PANDORA’S JAR by Natalie Haynes. From the cover: “In Pandora’s Jar, Natalie Haynes, a broadcaster, writer, stand-up comedian, and passionate classicist, turns the tables, putting the women of Greek myths on equal footing with the men. With wit, humor, and savviness, Haynes revolutionizes our understanding of epic poems, stories, and plays, resurrecting them from a woman’s perspective and tracing the origins of their mythic female characters.”
