Demonization is the cultural and historical process of portraying a figure, concept, or group as evil, dangerous, or morally corrupt—often to justify control, suppress dissent, or reinforce power structures.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche examines demonization as a tool of patriarchal and religious institutions to neutralize threatening forces, particularly feminine power and autonomy. She traces how figures like Lilith were deliberately demonized to entrench societal hierarchies, and reclaims these figures as models of legitimate resistance rather than moral failure.
