Some women were worshipped. Some were feared. Some were turned into warnings.
The Women Who Were Remembered Wrong revisits old stories of goddesses, queens, saints, witches, lovers, and warriors from the Caucasus, Anatolia, and the Silk Road. These are women who survived inside myth, folklore, scripture, empire, and village memory, but not always fairly.
Through lyrical retellings, reflective commentary, and source notes, Shruti Mishra returns to women who were made smaller by history or trapped inside roles they did not choose: temptress, martyr, monster, saint, muse, wife, widow, witch. The book asks what changes when we stop accepting inherited stories as final truth and begin listening for the woman beneath the legend.
Moving across regions shaped by migration, conquest, faith, trade, and memory, this collection is part folklore, part feminist reclamation, and part literary journey into the stories that taught generations what women were allowed to be.
For readers drawn to mythology, women's history, forgotten legends, feminist retellings, and the hidden lives behind old tales, The Women Who Were Remembered Wrong is an invitation to look again.
