The first part of the book, the novel itself written in first person from the point of view of Cassandra, is utterly enthralling. It is one of those books in which every paragraph contains a sentence or an expression or an idea so startling that one feels the need to stop and think about it before one continues reading. Wolf succeeds brilliantly in getting inside Casandra, her feelings, thinking, loves, hates and desires. And the character of Cassandra, in turn, succeeds brilliantly in getting inside the other players in the Trojan War saga, both the Greeks and the Trojans. The accompanying essays are no less fascinating. Yes, this is a profound and lasting piece of feminist writing. But it is so, so much more. Wolf's admirable and ground-breaking feminism is only one aspect of her overall view of history and the human species' place in it. To sum up: this is a work of genius by a genius. I give it my highest recommendation, and am certain that I will read it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Interesting take on old legend *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2019* Took me a bit to settle into the writing style which was a bit conscious of telling a grand ancient tale. Then the story started to emerge of what the life of Cassandra might have been like and why she was often discounted. There's a reality about the 'siege' of Troy (which was more an attack than a siege) whereby people could in fact come and go from the city and we enter the life of the people on the outside of the citadel as well as the very human behaviour of the 'powerful' within. The author brings in all the main names and gives us a glimmer of the characters of these players in an ancient and probably true tale. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knowledge isn’t power if no one believes you! *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018* A priestess, a defeated world power, the arrogance of victors in the world of classical Greece - how can all that speak to us today? Combine those features with the frustration of a woman being right but routinely ignored, and you have a great novel. Wolff adds to the wonderful experience through her essays, well worth reading. She is little known in the US, but should have a great audience among young women and fans of well-designed plots, --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/145001399-cassandra](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/145001399-cassandra) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
