Women Studies
(Compiled by Cosmeta)

Sexism and inequality of women is a major problem to be defeated not only here in America but around the globe. The best way to correct a wrong done is to empower women of all ages with the truth about our rich heritage. Granted, men have held sway for many a century, yet behind every successful man, there you will find a woman either by design or by intellect, motivating him and giving him emotional support. Yet when women need support, all too often they fail to recognize the power within. This section is devoted to that great and noble cause. Namely, to empower women. What better way to promote the future of womanhood then to uncover the archtypal and feminine figures of our religions and historical past.
