Today we bring you the second part of our conversation on women throughout history with Max Dashu. She focuses on the appearances of women and their depictions throughout different mythology, focusing on the nordic legends. These women are often demonized, but their characters have power and can control the fate of man, giving women power. Dashu also delves into more of the history of matriarchal societies and the ways civilizations have quashed the influence given to women in these societies.

She founded the Suppressed Histories Archives and has recently authored a book entitled Witches and Pagans: Women in European Folk Religion, 700-1100.
