This willful shouting identity is dissolving. A deep, wild, redeeming voice is rising. Naked, I am listening. The standards of others applaud, Yet, it is fakery, a trick. I find my voice of truth in my bones and blood. It is the only valuable I can offer, For there is no worth in the nobility of others’ mediocrity. My shameless life flames, Without apologies.

The Dissertation
Cowgirl as Goddess
Unravel the Cowgirl’s historic identity and myth to understand the light and dark facets of the feminine, both crucial elements for a woman’s wholeness. Through her relationship with land and animals, she fosters her instinctual intelligence as an essential grounding reflex rooted in the material world. The Cowgirl, as an archetypal image of the feminine, surpasses her role as a feminist and Western icon, becoming an image for the contemporary woman as a role model for wholeness and healing.
By questioning the conditioning of the Western transcendent-oriented culture, Dr. Michelle Blair-Komara aims to help women become aware of their own sovereignty. Contextualized through the “Cowgirl as Goddess: An Inquiry into the Archetypal Image of the Instinctual Feminine in Texas Culture,” her learnings reveal that women have been fractured by a masculine-valued ethos. However, women have the power to heal that schism by knowing their true nature.
