Frayne received the prestigious 2022 PROSE Award from the Association of American Publishers.

Dr. Stuckey has published widely on goddesses in numerous book chapters and journal articles. Until she retired, she yearly rewrote the chapter on "Women and Religion" in "Feminist Issues" (edited by Nancy Mandell).

As of 2022, in her 88th year, Dr. Stuckey has begun work on a small book on ancient goddesses.
