The document discusses Jungian archetypes and goddess archetypes that represent different aspects of femininity. It describes the Virgin goddesses (Artemis, Athena, Hestia) who represent independence, the Vulnerable goddesses (Hera, Demeter, Persephone) who embody relationship roles, and the Alchemical goddess Aphrodite who values emotional experience. It suggests that recognizing these archetypes can help women become protagonists in their own lives by shaping choices and facing challenges as heroic journeys of self-realization and wholeness.

In an interview , Marge Piercy answered the question as:
Are you feminist?
“Yes, I consider myself a feminist. I was involved in the second wave of feminism when it began, basically around 1996 & I remain politically active & involved.
my report in Media 304: Media and Identities at the University of the Philippines Diliman PhD Media Studies program at the College of Mass Communication
Longtemps, nous avons associé le leadership à la force, la domination, le pouvoir. Une hiérarchie horizontale, une compétition constante. Mais différentes études prouvent que les leaders de demain devront faire preuve d’esprit d’équipe, de collaboration et d’empathie. Ils et elles devront gérer des équipes diverses de façon inclusive. Comment former les leaders de demain et développer leur capacité d’impacter le monde de façon positive? Comment s’assurer que la nouvelle génération de diplômés fera partie des acteurs et actrices de changement du XXIe siècle?
Money is not a woman’s business. Just look at our banknotes.
And women feel more comfortable talking to a doctor than a financial advisor.
So men still earn and control the majority of the wealth
the investment field ends up being largely male dominated.
Women only run a mere 2% of hedge funds.
86% of investment advisors are men.
Yet, funds run by women have better results…
But unconscious biases still keep them out of this male sphere. And women entrepreneurs struggle to get funded.
And rich women tend to be philanthropists rather than investors.
So which initiatives are shifting the balance of the investment world?
Why we need more women in science and techShiftbalance
Women represent less than 20% of tech leadership positions worldwide. In the EU, the average of women graduating in STEM is 11% and numbers are dropping. As professionals, women leave the tech industry twice as much as men.
WHY?
Because we socialize them to. Because the work environment is still massively hostile. Because they lack mentorship and role models.
And yet, the future is in code. 80% of the jobs in the next decade will require technological skills. And because technology will shape the future. With the rise of AI and robots, what will happen if we let women out of it?
So let's check which initiatives exist to shift the balance in tech!
Initiatives shifting the balance in the sports sphereShiftbalance
Sports has long been considered an "unsuitable activity for ladies". Female athletes still receive less media coverage and less money. Yet, sport is a great way to develop confidence. SO which are the initiatives shifting the sports balance?
Sex is good, healthy, natural. And yet, we managed to transform the act of making love and babies in one of the most sinful activity on the planet.
Our sex education is now mostly done through male-gaze porn.
Lingering myths about menstruation and sexuality lead to terrible consequences. And women even experience an orgasm gap!
So how do we shift the sex balance? How do we promote more sex positivity and happiness?
Women are victims of the longest war.
A war costing us $8 Trillion a Year.
What are we doing to challenge rape culture and gender based violence? Here are some solutions!
Around the world, many gender activists try to balance the world.
Which strategies do they use? How do they leverage new media to reach a greater impact? Which tools can you use yourself?
Our stories have been written by men. Mostly about men. Or about women perceived through male gaze. So we end up seeing the world through one eye only. How can we reclaim the narrative? How can we foster a more balanced storytelling?
In all our institutions, we are still experiencing a tremendous leadership gap. We will talk about the remaining barriers and unconscious biases towards female leadership and the different existing initiatives to overcome it.

3. Archetypes are deep enduring patterns
of thought and behavior
• They lay down in human psyche and remain
powerful over long periods of time.
• Archetypes form the basis for all unlearned,
instinctive patterns of behavior that humankind-
-regardless of culture--shares in common.
• Archetypes are found in dreams, literature, art
and myth and communicate to us through many
symbols.
4. Psychoanalysis has had a
reductive vision of women
• For at least 2,000 years of European history until
the late 19th century, the term "hysteria" referred
to a medical condition thought to be particular
to women and caused by disturbances of
the uterus.
• In Freud’s view, not having a penis made women
maimed and inferior: they suffered from
masculinity complex or anxieties about castration.
• For Jung, receptivity, passivity, nurturing and
subjectivity characterized the feminine personality.
5. Jean Shinoda Bolen, a Jungian psychiatrist, has written
several books on the archetypal psychology of women
and men in the development of spirituality.
6. Her objective is to transform women in
better protagonists or heroines in their
own life stories
• Recognizing inner patterns
• Being conscious about the influence of both external
stereotypes and internal archetypes
• Especially since society expects women to conform to
some roles, reinforcing some goddess patterns and
repressing others
• And because midlife is a time of transition with a
changing of goddess
• The awareness of these forces actually provides
power
7. Old Europe used to be a
matrifocal society
• 5.000 years ago, before the rise of male
religions, Old Europe was a matrifocal,
sedentary, peaceful, art-loving, earth and sea
bound culture that worshipped the Great
Goddess.
• Named Astarte, Ishtar, Inanna, Nut, Isis,
Ashtoreth, Au Set, Hathor, Nina, Nammu,
Ningal…
• Unstratified, egalitarian society.
8.
9. But Indo European invasions imposed
their patriarchal culture
• Between 4500 BC and 2400 BC
• Invaders were patrifocal, mobile, warlike,
ideologically sky-oriented and indifferent to art.
• Perceived themselves as superior.
• Rape appeared in myths for the first time.
• Great Mother became fragmented in many lesser
goddesses, faded into the background.
• Suppression of women’s rites: suppression of
women rights?
10. Greek mythology is thus a patriarchal
mythology that exalts Zeus and heroes
• Greek goddesses lived in a world ruled by
men and adopted different strategies:
– Either separated from men, joining them as one
of them or withdrawing inward.
• What can we learn from them?
11.
12. Stereotypes of women are positive or
negative images of goddess archetypes
• Patriarchal societies consider only
acceptable roles as maiden (Persephone),
wife (Hera) or mother (Demeter)
• While Aphrodite is considered the whore
or the temptress.
• Some cultures repress independence,
intelligence or sexuality of Artemis, Athena
or Aphrodite (cf China’s binding foot
tradition).
13. The goddesses’ archetypes fall
into three categories
1. Virgin goddesses:
Artemis, Athena, Hestia
2. Vulnerable goddesses:
Hera, Demeter, Persephone
3. Alchemical Goddess:
Aphrodite
14. The Virgin Goddesses represent independence
and self-sufficient qualities in women
• Not moved by love, sexuality or infatuation.
• Never married, overpowered, raped or humiliated.
Remain intact.
• Openly feminist. Less likely to be victims.
• With a focused consciousness: absorbed in what
they are doing
• Facing challenge to be true to themselves and
adapt to a man’s world: Artemis withdraws in
wilderness, Hestia withdraws inside home or
herself, Athena identifies to them.
• Risk of lonely life without significant other.
15. Artemis: the Big Sister
• Protector of women
• Rugged individualist: separation
from men and their influence
• Goddess of childbirth: as soon
as she was born, helped her
mother in the labour of her twin
brother Apollo
• Comes quickly to mother’s aid
(only goddess known for this).
• Goal focus and perseverance.
16. Artemis: the archetype of the
women’s movement
• Qualities: Achievement and competence, independence from
men and male opinions, concern for victimized, powerless
women and the young.
• Desire to prevent harm to women and children, and to punish
those who do such harm.
• Feels strong about her causes: do not accept inequity as
given, even in her families: the sister already demands
equality. She’s the activist.
17.
18. Artemis: Importance of paternal
approval
• Problems arise when parents criticize the Artemis daughter
for not being the girl they expect her to be.
• Opposition and disapproval may harm her self esteem and
self confidence especially if her admired father criticizes her
for not being ladylike.
• The daughter maintains a defiant pose outwardly but inwardly
is wounded. She appears to be strong, uninfluenced by what
he thought until she can be on her own.
• Result: doubts about herself, inner conflict, when she
succeeds, she still feels inadequate.
• Incorporates father’s critical attitude in her psyche.
• Especially happens in families that place a high value on
sons.
• Less compatible or complementary relationships recapitulate
father-daughter conflicts.
19.
20. Artemis: support of the mother
• I was the parent
• Sadness for not having been able to change their
mother’s lives: efforts to rescue were unsuccessful.
• Determined not to resemble their vulnerable mothers,
Artemis daughters tend to suppress dependency
feelings. Avoid expressing vulnerability and vow to be
independent.
• Rejects what she considers feminine, softness,
receptivity, stirrings towards marriage and
motherhood.
• Plagued by inadequacy feelings in her feminine
identification.
21.
22. Artemis the explorer
• Enjoys leaving home for college. Loves backpacking trips in
the wilderness, Vision quests, ski.
• Her interests have no commercial value. Non traditional.
• Friendship with other women is very important.
• May have a supportive mother applauding the feminist
daughter.
• Feels an equal to men, considers the stereotyped role as
unnatural.
• Hiding her abilities goes against her grain. Feels ridiculous to
play the role of the little woman.
• Tendency to explore and try new adventures, even sexually.
Avoids relationships where she feels controlled or dominated.
• Marriage is far from her mind, unless if it has an egalitarian
quality.
23.
24. Artemis is likely to have a on the
move lifestyle
• Attracted to helping professions or
creative men
• Kind of mother that fosters independence,
female bear, teaches young to fend for
themselves and yet can be ferocious in
their defense.
• Missing close and emotional intimacy but
has enduring men and women friendships
and enjoy other’s people children.
25. Difficulties
• Contempt for vulnerability: merciless, judge actions of
others in black and white: need to become more
understanding, people are more complex, forgive
them and herself to become more merciful. Needs to
develop compassion and empathy.
• Destructive rage. Likely to be angry at men in general
for failing to treat with respect someone she values.
• Can only be stopped if Artemis confronts her own
destructiveness directly before it consumes her or
devastates her relationships.
• Humility is key: she is a flawed human woman too,
not an avenging goddess.
• Must achieve conscious awareness.
26. Complexity
• On the one hand, rescues women and
feminine values from patriarchy.
• On the other hand, with her intense focus
on goals, can devalue receptivity, related
to others qualities.
• To grow beyond Artemis, a woman must
develop her conscious, receptive,
relationship-oriented potential.
27. Athena: the father’s daughter
• Only one parent: Zeus
• Athena tends to side with the patriarchy.
• Logical women ruled by their heads rather than
their hearts.

snake

staying the heroine.
• Blaming others, criticizing herself, commit suicide.
