Lucy Little , August 20, 2007 (view all comments by Lucy Little)
Interesting theory. The author presents the case that a decline in goddess worship and devaluation of females and female attributes coincide with the advent of the written alphabet. He bases it more specifically on actual brain function. A long book, but one that can be picked up for a chapter or two as some of them can stand alone. Whether one agrees or not, the book is fascinating and presents many historical facts about the relationships of males and females in various societies. I personally liked the book and have added it to my "keep" stack!
