Forgotten Female Figures in Global Mythology: Unearthing Hidden Goddesses and Silenced Heroines Introduction: The Stories We Haven’t Heard When you think of mythology, certain names spring to mind: mighty gods, brave warriors, epic battles. But behind these big stories is a quieter reality. Countless female figures have been ignored, erased or cast as niche players. Such marginalisation is particularly resonant in the case of mighty goddesses and heroines whose narratives once carnalised the nuances of cultural, spiritual and symbolic knowledge but were systematically rendered otiose from dominant praxis.

Mythology is filled with powerful women whose stories, pushed into the shadows. https://t.ly/X36Qg
