Max Dashu ~ Your Source of Goddess Research, Study and Understanding.

"Max Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in 1970 to research and document women's history from an international perspective. She built a collection of 15,000 slides and 20,000 digital images, and has created 150 slideshows on female cultural heritages across human history. (For titles and descriptions, see the online catalog.) Read some of the enthusiastic responses to these dynamic presentations here. Her 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.

For over 40 years, Max Dashu has presented hundreds of slide talks at universities, community centers, bookstores, schools, libraries, prisons, galleries, festivals and conferences around North America and in Mexico, Germany, Ireland, Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Bulgaria, and Australia. She has keynoted at conferences (including Women's Voices for a Change at Skidmore, 2013; Association for Women and Mythology, 2010; Pagan Studies at Claremont University, 2008, and Domestic Violence Conference at Rutgers, 2005).

Dashu is known for her expertise on ancient female iconography in world archaeology, women shamans, witches and the witch hunts, mother-right cultures, patriarchies and the origins of domination. Her critique of Cynthia Eller's The Myth of Matriarchal Prehistory (2000) has opened up space for objective consideration of the evidence for egalitarian matrilineages.(“Knocking Down Straw Dolls" (2000), republished in Feminist Theology 13.2 (2005), Sage Publications, UK). Two of her articles were published in Goddesses in World Mythology (Praeger, 2010)."

Dashu has released two video dvds Women's Power in Global Perspective (2008: view clipshere) and Woman Shaman: the Ancients (2013 - view trailer). Her daily posts on the Suppressed Histories page on Facebook is followed by 137,000 people. Dashu is now completing the first four volumes of her sourcebook on women in European folk religion and the witch hunts (forthcoming in 2015).

"uncovers the realities of women's lives, internationally and across time, asking questions about patriarchy and slavery, conquest and aboriginality. About mother-right, female spheres of power, indigenous philosophies of spirit-- and the historical chemistry of their repression. Even more important, their role in resisting oppression.

A global perspective on women’s history offers fresh and diverse conceptions of women's power, as well as of men and gender borders. It overturns stereotypes of race and class, and the structures of domination that enforce them. It digs under the usual story of lords and rulers, looking for hidden strands, and reweaves knowledge from the divided fields of history, archaeology, linguistics and folk tradition."
