“Max Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in January of 1970 to research and document women’s history on a global scale. She wanted to find out if there were any societies in the world where women were free, and to understand how systems of domination establish and perpetuate themselves. Since then she has built a collection of some 50,000 images and 100 visual presentations, as well as producing numerous articles, photo essays, books, and videos fleshing out the cultural heritages that have been hidden from us.”
Dashu’s work bridges the gap between academia and grassroots education. It foregrounds indigenous women passed over by standard histories and highlights female spheres of power retained even in some patriarchal societies. Dashu is internationally known for her expertise on ancient female iconography in world archaeology; female spheres of power and matricultures; patriarchies and allied systems of domination; medicine women, female shamans, witches, and witch hunts.
