Athena Is Often Portrayed As An Emblem of Women's Empowerment.

Athena was a warrior goddess who was depicted in Greek mythology as having insight, wisdom, creativity, and strength. She regularly appears in works of traditional Greek art, such as coins and paintings. She was one of the most popular topics for artists during the Renaissance, and in the 17th and 18th centuries, she was depicted alongside strong female leaders like Queen Elizabeth I of England and Queen Catherine II of Russia.

Athena is still seen as a representation of knowledge, education, and the empowerment of women in popular culture. She was a part of the well-liked American television program Xena: Warrior Princess. She is portrayed there as a deity with a stronger capacity for feeling and imaginative expression. A non-profit organization called Athena International was established in 1982 with the goal of promoting, developing, and recognizing female leaders.

Additionally, it aims to promote gender equality in leadership across the globe and encourages women to realize their full potential. Athena serves as an inspiration for women leaders because she exemplifies the "strength, courage, wisdom, and enlightenment" that they hope to possess. To honor her status as a warrior goddess, Athena took on the form of Barbie on February 18, 2010.
