When God was a Woman - The Landmark Exploration of the Ancient Worship of the Great Goddess and the Eventual Supression of Women's Rites (Paperback, 1st Harvest/HBJ ed)

Here, archaeologically documented is the story of the religion of the Goddess. Known by many names, she reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East. How did the change in women's roles come about? By documenting the wholesale rewriting of myth and religious dogmans, Stone details an ancient conspiracy that laid the foundation for one of culture's greatest shams--the legend of Adam and fallen Eve.
