You've broken hearts; stolen boyfriends and souls; and have taken lives if not the will to live. You've ruined another mortal's life again. The audacity they have to call you a harpy, a hag, and a word that rhymes with witch (though you've been called a witch too). You're not a bad girl, you're just misunderstood. If only the world could see your side of the story...which is the premise for the entertaining anthology Hags, Sirens, & Other Bad Girls of Fantasy from editor Denise Little. The majority of these misunderstood women are culled from familiar Greek (Medusa being a popular example), Egyptian, and Norse myths to lesser known Native American myths.
