Episode 17: Blanks and Goddess Worship
This week we are talking about how huge portions of women's history are hard to know because so much is left blank. The biggest blank in all history is pre-history... and many women historians have tried to stake a claim there... suggesting that perhaps there was a time when women reigned supreme. Some argue that there was once a Great Goddess, worshipped above all gods. Obviously, this is disputed. So, as Brooke says, let's get into this.
