Why read it?
1 author picked Victory to the Mother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is my favorite book on Indian/Hindu goddesses. Even after all these years, I believe it to be the erudite and accessible book that portrays the complexity of goddesses and their relationships with devotees. Each time I re-read the book, I glean additional insights into India, Hinduism, and the ways that the sacred feminine shapes the lives of people in the Northeast region of India.
From Caleb's list on goddesses in India.
