Over time readers of our book The Secret Life of Lady Liberty have sent us links to several music videos related to the American goddess. Here are a few—after watching them, check out our book to learn more about the symbolism and the history.

“The Secret Life of Lady Liberty is the story behind how we have the Statue of Liberty in the New York harbor. It tells the intriguing back story of how it was envisioned, created, financed, and overcame opposition to be erected. The change in name from Lady Liberty to an “it”–an abstract idea is another layer of history and psychology, about religious opposition to the Sacred Feminine and to women. We know that indigenous peoples had lands taken from them; in the hidden history of the United States, we now also know that the principle of balance of powers was taken from the Iroquois Confederacy, a system of governance that inspired the framers of the constitution.”

— Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., author of The Millionth Circle, Urgent Message From Mother, and Goddesses in Everywoman
