"The day will come when men recognize women as his peer, not only at the fireside but in the councils of the nation... Then and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race." - Susan B. Anthony

No goddess annoyed Christian officials more than the Norse Goddess Freya. As a result, ironically, Freya survives more vividly than any other female goddess. The constant condemnation that the Christian Church gave her kept her from fading into obscurity.
