Bio for Max Dashu

Max Dashu is a land witch and ecstatic veleda. She founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in 1970 to research and document women's history on a global scale. She built a collection of 50,000 images and created 100 slideshows on female cultural heritages across time. Her work foregrounds women, especially matricultural and indigenous women passed over by standard histories, and highlights female spheres of power retained even in some patriarchal societies.

Her poster series illustrates global patterns of female figurines, breastpots, and vulva petroglyphs.
