Why did the most powerful women in history often stand alone? Maidenhood: The Secret History of the Independent Goddess is a journey through three thousand years of women who lived outside the reach of husbands and households. This book uncovers a forgotten social category: the woman who belongs only to herself. It also examines the risks of this path, from the myths of the Gorgon to the history of the witch trials, where independence was seen as a threat to the social order. This is a study of the self-governing person and the enduring force of the individual who chooses to stay at the edge of the world's usual business. You will discover how the goddesses Artemis and Athena provided a model for a life of self-governance that still speaks to the desire for autonomy today. By stepping away from the demands of domestic life, these figures gathered a force that could be directed toward higher aims. This is a history for anyone who wants to know how women in the past built lives of their own on their own terms.
