The Goddess is all around us in museums, universities, sacred sites, parks, and statues on city streets. In this online exhibit, you will discover goddess history through her presence in public spaces, in ancient and modern times. The intent of this exhibit is to bring a more comprehensive awareness of the Goddess to visitors and to celebrate the many ways we can encounter The Goddess and Public History.  Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway, SUNY graduate student, is your guide
