Synopsis

In two intertwined songs, a feminist epic poem and a dreamlike opera libretto, Among the Goddesses traces one woman's harrowing mythological journey of discovery. Tutored by encounters with seven Goddesses, both frightening and nurturing, Marie/Lily is tested by loss, rape, and abortion as she finds her community and her spiritual strength. This magical book embodies the goddesses in every woman and gives voice to the power of the feminist spirituality movement.
