    Gender, Power and the Sacred: A Feminist Analysis of Cross-Cultural Mythological Narratives
    (Astitva Prakashan, 2025) Vanya Srivastava; Nikita Verma
    The book is the culmination of an academic journey that has been deeply personal, intellectual, and transformative. At its core, this work seeks to interrogate the intricate and often overlooked ways in which mythological narratives have historically constructed, reinforced, and transmitted gender ideologies. By examining key mythological figures such as Venus and Mars from Roman mythology, Aphrodite and Ares from Greek traditions, and divine pairs like Shiva-Parvati and Zeus-Hera, this study explores how myths serve as socio-cultural texts that mirror, endorse, or challenge prevailing patriarchal norms.
