Join us for a powerful evening as we celebrate the release of Righteous Rage: Why Feminism Needs the Fierce Goddesses by Susan J. Foster, PhD.
As the season of darkness deepens, Dr. Foster invites us to reconnect with the fierce goddesses: Hecate, Medusa, Kali, Persephone, and many more; whose sacred rage rises from the shadows of myth and psyche alike. These goddesses embody a volcanic force against injustice, one that can ignite personal and collective transformation. In her book, Dr. Foster explores how the dark goddesses call us to dismantle oppressive systems and co-create a more just and inclusive future.
✨ Event Highlights:
Author talk and a special reading of Righteous Rage by Dr. Foster.
Exploration of dark goddess archetypes and their relevance for feminism today
Q&A with the author
Book signing opportunity
