Women have traditionally been written out of history. But throughout ancient myths, stories, and legends there is a power in rediscovering the experiences of the many 'fallen' women who have been hidden from the annals of the past. Portrayed to us as enigmatic Goddesses, devout saints, scandalous sinners, and infamous biblical whores, their storylines of inequity were scorned or, in many instances, disregarded altogether to gather the dust of antiquity. They are the hidden gems of the ancient world, and it is time to awaken their voices. For within every account of a 'fallen' woman, whether Divine or human, there is another very fascinating side to their story.

Lady Haight-Ashton’s well researched comprehensive treatise on The Fallen Women of Mythology: Goddesses, Saints and Sinners explores the “divisional line between the ancient matriarchal and patriarchal way of thinking” about women and their place in society. This literary work of redemption reveals unique and compelling details, lost and hidden for centuries, about women purposely mis portrayed by patriarchal historians as domineering, aggressive, sexually immoral, and/or in some way deviating from the cultural norms of their eras. As Lady unveils a litany of the lives of legendary women, many of whom are well known in religious myth and lore, she takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride. For readers interested in Female Spirituality and Herstory, this inspiring book is a gem. ~ Rev. Gypsy Ravish, Singer/Writer, Clan Mother Alexandrian Witchcraft Kent Line
This is a deep dive into understanding how misogyny is woven into the fabric of our society so deeply that women perpetuate it upon themselves. Outlining cultural misogyny on every level of society, this book shows the systematic disempowering of women who deserve recognition, and erasing women that gain notoriety. This is an eye-opening book, and brings into focus the archetype of the fallen woman and how shame was used to subjugate the power to create life. ~ Lady Belladonna LaVeau, Archpriestess of the Aquarian Tabernacle Church
