Book Reviews of The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future
Book Review: The Chalice and the Blade
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a scholarly and insightful book about the origins of our culture, in particular the impact that the subjugation of women has had on both women and men, and how this world view, though thousands of years old, was not always held. It brings out the fact that art and invention have not been developed in a linear fashion, but have had many advances and setbacks, particularly after periods of war. Its also very readable and easy to understand. Highly reccommended.
Summary of The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future
The phenomenal bestseller, with more than 500,000 copies sold worldwide, now with a new epilogue from the author--The Chalice and the Blade has inspired a generation of women and men to envision a truly egalitarian society by exploring the legacy of the peaceful, goddess-worshipping cultures from our prehistoric past.
Some books are like revelations, they open the spirit to unimaginable possibilities. The Chalice and the Blade is one of those magnificent key books that can transform us and...initiate fundamental changes in the world. With the most passionate eloquence, Riane Eisler proves that the dream of peace is not an impossible utopia. -- Isabelle Allende, author of The House of the Spirits
