There's something about Asherah?

In 1 Kings Chapter 18, we have one of the most famous stories of the Elijah narrative. It's the famous Elijah vs. the Prophets of Baal showdown of the century. Anyway, Elijah goes up to Mount Carmel to meet the prophets of Baal and Asherah (v. 19), and he competes against them to see whose God is real and/or powerful, and needless to say, YHWH beats Baal. Like pretty handily. The Baal sacrifice just won't catch fire, while YHWH's waterlogged sacrifice burns so much that it dries the trench of water around it. But the curious thing is, Asherah's prophets aren't mentioned again in the story. So the question is: What happens to them? Unfortunately, we dunno. Some people interpret this as a contest not only over the legitimacy of the two major deities, but also a contest over whose gal Asherah is. This is admittedly reading waaaaaaay too much into the text, but it is an interesting counterargument to an equal argument from silence that her prophets were killed as well.
