Title: A Galaxy Of Immortal Women The Yin Side Of Chinese Civilization
Description: Touching on the whole story of China--from Neolithic villages to a globalized Shanghai--this book ties mythology, archaeology, history, religion, folklore, literature, and journalism into a millennia-spanning story about how Chinese women--and their goddess traditions--fostered a counterculture that flourishes and grows stronger every day. As Brian Griffith charts the stories of China's founding mothers, shamanesses, goddesses, and ordinary heroines, he also explores the largely untold story of women's contributions to cultural life in the world's biggest society and provides inspiration for all global citizens.
