Woman, Church, and State: Uncovering the Hidden History of Women’s Suppression
History has long been written by those in power — but what if the true story of civilization is one of forgotten queens, erased priestesses, and deliberate suppression?
In this electrifying episode, we explore Woman, Church, and State by Matilda Joslyn Gage, a fearless 19th-century voice who exposed how both religious and political systems conspired to enslave half of humanity: women.
From the ancient Matriarchate — when women ruled family, religion, and governance — to the tragic decline of women’s rights under patriarchal Christianity and canon law, Gage’s groundbreaking research rewrites everything you thought you knew about civilization, morality, and power.
This is not just a history lesson — it is a call to reawaken a forgotten legacy.
You’ll discover:
How ancient civilizations like Egypt, India, and early America revered women as leaders, judges, and divine figures.
Why early Christianity systematically erased women’s voices from Scripture, leadership, and public life.
The dark intersections between witch hunts, Church courts, and political oppression.
How women’s original role as spiritual and civic leaders was dismantled — and what was lost in the process.
Why the doctrines of celibacy, polygamy, and male supremacy were political tools disguised as divine will.
Gage courageously dismantles the myths perpetuated by church and state that have justified the degradation and legal bondage of women for centuries.
She exposes how the rise of male-dominated religions shifted societies from peace and matriarchal wisdom to violence, conquest, and control — a loss humanity still suffers from today.
In an era where libraries, sacred texts, and ancient records are finally revealing their secrets, Gage’s voice cuts through centuries of censorship to offer a vision of what civilization once was — and could be again.
If you’ve ever questioned why inequality persists in the name of faith, why history forgot the women who built civilization, or why oppression wears the mask of morality — this is the story you need to hear.
Join us as we reclaim the hidden history of woman’s original place at the center of life, law, and the sacred.
This is more than a history — it’s a revelation.
It’s time to uncover the truth that was buried — and to light the fire of freedom once again.
