Monica Sjöö
Monica Sjöö was a Swedish-born writer, painter, radical ecofeminist, and pioneering figure in the Goddess movement who relocated to the United Kingdom in the 1950s.
She initially published a pamphlet in 1975 that evolved into The Great Cosmic Mother, co-written with American poet Barbara Mor.
The work expanded from 80 pages in 1981 to 500 pages by 1987, becoming a classic of Second Wave Feminist thought.
Sjöö's art and writing explored shamanic processes and lunar spirituality, connecting past, present, and future knowledge through the Divine Feminine.
She remained influential in feminist spirituality circles until her death in 2005.
