This is a cultural ethnography of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, part of Riviera Maya, containing contemporary field photos taken in 2014-2016. The book also explores the history of the archetypal theme of islands of women and Amazons in world myth, literature and history, placing Ixchel the Maya goddess of fertility and how she was discovered by the explorers of Queen Isabella in that context.
