The Myth of Matriarchal Prehistory

Why an Invented Past Won't Give Women a Future

A critical examination of the widespread belief in a prehistoric era of goddess worship and female rule. Eller reviews the archaeological and anthropological evidence and argues that the story is unsupported and of doubtful value to feminism.
