"Myrtle of Willendorf" by Rebecca O'Connell follows the journey of a young girl named Myrtle, who discovers the ancient fertility figurine known as the Venus of Willendorf. As Myrtle grapples with her own identity and societal expectations, the figurine serves as a symbol of female empowerment and body positivity. Set against the backdrop of a small town, the story intertwines themes of self-acceptance, friendship, and the struggle to embrace one’s uniqueness. Through Myrtle's experiences, O'Connell explores the complexities of growing up and the importance of recognizing and celebrating one's own worth in a world focused on conformity.
