Women's Power

by Max Dashu
Suppressed Histories Archives, U.S.A.

Max Dashu of the Suppressed Histories Archives presents a global view of creative and indominable women, ancient and modern, famous and anonymous. She offers a provocative analysis of female spheres of power -- in politics, economics, religion, medicine, arts and letters, even technology -- and surveys women warriors and rebels who defied oppressive laws and customs. Her presentation honors the leaders, founders, rebels, and liberators who were left out of the history books.

WOMEN'S POWER offers a global look at female spheres of power, including political leaders, clan mothers and elders, builders, women shamans, heretics, doctors, writers, rebels, warriors, activists and liberators. This visual presentation by Max Dashu of the Suppressed Histories Archives highlights indigenous women in the art and oral histories of Africa , Asia , and the Americas , and the modern explosion of women's movements around the world.
