Notes

Another day, another woman of myth!

Today's is focused on none other than Hera.

I won't lie, when I first read about her, I really disliked her but as I read more, I couldn't help but feel somewhat sympathetic for her.

Don't get me wrong, I still do dislike her but under all the pride is a woman feeling shame for she too was exploited...

She's in alot of pain, I understand and I will always empathise with that fact.

Here's the link for the growing collection:

Much love,

Lyn 💜
