Unlike any other Statue of Liberty book, The Secret Life of Lady Liberty: Goddess in the New World sees the Statue of Liberty as an energizing symbol of hope for this nation. We use the image of Lady Liberty to trace the lesser known histories of influential people like the Native Americans and woman suffragists, and gain insight into our national character by connecting the multiple traditions behind this symbolism. From the Neolithic Earth Mother, to Mary Magdalene, Minerva, and Joan of Arc, they are all here in this examination of the female divine in the Americas, showing that liberty for women around the world is necessary for lasting peace.
“As the daughter of a Clan Mother, a true matriarch and descendant of those intrepid women leaders of the famed Iroquois Confederacy, I deeply appreciate the work of Hieronimus and Cortner in bringing to light the central role of those we call ‘lifegivers.’ For those around the world seeking the source of feminism, life, liberty, and justice for all, I highly recommend The Secret Life of Lady Liberty.”
– Joanne Shenandoah, Ph.D., Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy) and Grammy Award–winning singer
