Merlin Stone was a visionary scholar whose works delved into the hidden histories of religion and women's roles. Through her acclaimed writings, she challenged traditional narratives, uncovering deeply embedded matriarchal structures that influenced the development of major world religions. Her texts, often controversial, invite readers to reconsider accepted views of antiquity and the presence of goddess figures. Stone's own artistic practice as a sculptor enriched her understanding and interpretation of history and culture.
Here, archaeologically documented, is the story of the religion of the Goddess. Under her, women's roles were far more prominent than in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures. Stone describes this ancient system and, with its disintegration, the decline in women's status. Index; maps and illustrations.
