In an age where women were expected to be both demure and docile, Minerva’s fiery nature and interest in intellect defied convention, making her a truly powerful figure in mythology for women. Minerva was a staunch supporter of the arts - being a renown weaver herself - and often counseled mortals who had won her favor, using her gifts of intelligence, strategy, and cunning to avoid actual warfare.
