When God Was A Woman by Merlin Stone
This groundbreaking work delves into the ancient world where societies revered female deities and women held significant power and influence. It explores the transition from matriarchal to patriarchal systems, examining how the rise of male-dominated religions and cultures led to the suppression of goddess worship and the marginalization of women. Through archaeological evidence and historical analysis, the book challenges conventional narratives, offering a compelling perspective on the origins of gender inequality and the enduring impact of these shifts on modern society.
