Women talking to each other - how dare they? Kimberly and Dawn talk to each other about the origin of the campaign against gossip, and how most of it is actually very good for all of us. Let’s chat!

The founder of the Academy Hagia and one of the strongest voices in the Modern Matriarchal Studies movement, Heide Göttner-Abendroth has written books and articles and given amazing talks on historical and extant matriarchy around the globe. It is her definition of what makes a matriarchy that we use on our podcast. We are SO thrilled to be able to speak to her about her own history, and what in her life brought her to matriarchal studies. Join us for a fascinating discussion!

Time for a shout-out to two great Amazon warriors, Penthesilea and Hippolyta. Join old-school hosts, Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden, as they welcome one of our new hosts, Lauren Torres, to discuss these fabulous warrior women.

We're back and what better way to start the new season than with a shout-out to two great Amazon warriors, Penthesilea and Hippolyta. Join old-school hosts, Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden, as they welcome one of our new hosts, Lauren Torres, to discuss these fabulous warrior women. 

It's good to be back!

Hey, everyone!  There are some changes afoot for the podcast.  We are going to reorganize in order to keep bringing you content that helps make matriarchy great again! 

Greer “G.R.” Macallister is an author of historical fiction and science fantasy. Under her full name, "Greer MacAllister," she has written the historical fiction novels The Magician’s Lie, Girl In Disguise, Woman 99 and Arctic Fury.  Her historical novels put a spotlight on the lives of women whose stories have not fully been told. 

With her new “Five Queendoms” series, and under the name "GR MacAllister," Ms. MacAllister ventures in the world of science fantasy and gynarchy-- female-dominated worlds.  Beginning with the work Scorpica and continuing wither latest novel Arca, we are introduced to the stories of women powerful in war, queenship and magic. 

We are delighted to share our interview with her.

This one was definitely worth an encore: 

Join us as we take a fun dive into the history of the British suffrage movement and the untold story of the women who became martial arts experts and protectors of the movement.  Tony Wolf, author of the graphic novel "Suffrajitsu: Mrs. Pankhurst's Amazons," talks to us about his novel and the marvelous and colorful history of these Suffrajitsu women.

According to Marija Gimbutas, "During the sixth millennium B.C., the Old Europeans developed a writing system; like many other Old European achievements, writing grew out of religious symbols and signs."  How did this writing system work and what was its function?  And why has its primacy and importance been overlooked by scholars?

Join us as we discuss this topic with Miriam Robbins Dexter, Ph.D., who holds a B.A. in Classics and a Ph.D. in Indo-European Studies (comparative linguistics, archaeology and mythology) from the University of California, Los Angeles.  

Her friend and colleague, Vicki Noble, a regular member of the Make Matriarchy Great Again team, joins the discussion.
