Overview: Women have traditionally been written out of history. But throughout ancient myths, stories, and legends there is a power in rediscovering the experiences of the many fallen women who have been hidden from the annals of the past.

Portrayed to us as enigmatic Goddesses, devout saints, scandalous sinners, and infamous biblical whores, their story lines of inequity were scorned or, in many instances, disregarded altogether to gather the dust of antiquity.

They are the hidden gems of the ancient world, and it is time to awaken their voices. For within every account of a fallen woman, whether Divine or human, there is another very fascinating side to their story.

Verdict: In what is a veritable deep dive into the understanding of how misogyny has been long been woven into the very fabric of our society, this intellectually, and educational written new prose from author Lady Haight-Ashton clearly showcases the archetype of the fallen woman and, moreover, how an indignant shame was brought to bear to subjugate the power to create life.

Broken up into five chapters, albeit the final one is simply an Ode to the Fallen Women of Mythology, such women detailed within include: Eve and Her Sister Lilith, Empress Wu, Mary Magdalene, Queen Kubaba, Catherine the Great, Cleopatra, Zafetta, Elizabeth Siddell, Jezebel, Delilah, Salome, Mary of Egypt, and amongst a whole host of others, both Louise de La Valliere and Vesta and the Vestal Virgins of Rome.

In short, what Lady Haight-Ashton has done here with her new prose Pagan Portals - The Fallen Women of Mythology: Goddesses, Saints and Sinners, is dutifully spotlight women/goddesses whose stories have been scuttled into the shadows for far too long now.
