by Rachel Pollack
Category: Social Science

The religion of the Goddess is emerging from the shadows of the past. This work explores the ancient world of the matriarchy and the re-emergence of Goddess worship in modern women's lives. Drawing on the works of many scholars, scientists and artists, it brings together history, archaeology, mythology and the author's own experiences, and relates how the Goddess was overwhelmed by the patriarchy of Christianity.
