From the inside jacket flap:
Artemis - Goddess of the Hunt and Moon unravels the myth and symbolism of the virgin goddess to reveal her true essence, the independent feminine spirit.
In ancient Greek mythology, Artemis symbolizes independence, truth, and intelligence while embodying nature, fertility, and the moon. Artemis also set a new standard for women. Strong, focused, dynamic, she was in control of her powers, never needing a male partner, yet embracing all the nurturing and tenderness of motherhood.
With full-color photographs and paintings, and an informative text by Manuela Dunn Mascetti, Artemis is a testament to the independent woman.

This is a lovely little book with plenty of full color paintings. It's part of a 3 book set by the same author (the others are devoted to Aphrodite and Athena). The books were sold individually, I believe, but also as a box set. A nice addition to any library on mythology or goddesses.
