The Amazons are our inspiration and we thought it would be good to introduce our new listeners to some of discussions on the topic.
In a wonderful, spirited discussion, we present and encore episode in which Max Dashu discusses her research into the warrior women called "Amazons." How did the Ancient Greek conception of femaleness shape the stories of Amazons that we know today? What is the relationship of Amazon concept to the warrior tribes that existed in the Black Sea region? Was there really a standalone tribe of warrior women?
Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden discuss these concepts with Max.
