When we think of Inanna, she is usually envisioned as the descending Goddess-and often, it is her time spent in the Underworld that most alluded to. While the Underworld, or the "shadow" is vital, it is equally important to remember what happens after the time spent in the darkness, the void, or the long dark tunnel. We descend our entire lives it seems-only coming up for brief moments of respite. Patriarchy pushes us down repeatedly-and sometimes, we just stay there.
Inanna's Ascent examines how women can rise from the underworld and reclaim their power. All contributors are extraordinary women in their own right, who have been through some difficult life lessons-and are brave enough to share their stories.
