When God Was a Woman

This audiobook explores the ancient worship of the Great Goddess and the historical shift from matriarchy to patriarchy, offering a detailed account of the Goddess’s revered role in early societies and the subsequent rewriting of mythologies that diminished her importance. Merlin Stone examines how societal roles for women differed markedly in these ancient cultures and investigates the origins of gender narratives that continue to influence modern beliefs. Narrated by Jo Anna Perrin and produced by Echo Point Books & Media, this thought-provoking study invites listeners to reconsider the roots of gender roles and female power throughout history.
