The Chalice and the Blade

In this accessible adaptation of her groundbreaking work, Riane Eisler explores the origins of human culture through a multidisciplinary lens, reconstructing a prehistoric society based on partnership rather than domination. She examines the historical shift to patriarchy and challenges the notion that gender inequality is divinely or biologically predetermined. Ultimately, Eisler offers new perspectives and scripts for creating a more equitable future, rooted in our cultural past.
