The Birth of Hathor features the early work of the artist Heather Cushman-Dowdee, the creator of the Hathor the Cowgoddess comics. The Hathor the Cowgoddess comic is the unfolding story of the artist and her family as they champion the benefits of homebirthing, breastfeeding on demand, maintaining constant contact, sharing space, unschooling and saving the world. This book follows the artist through Graduate School where the comic evolved from paintings, sculptures and performaces; describes the process, thoughts and philosophies that make Hathor such an amazing Cowgoddess and includes 58 of the earliest cartoons.
