"P. 193: (Jean Baker Miller: "The need to control/dominate others comes from a feeling of powerlessness... the greater the development of each individual, the more able, more effective, and less needy of limitin or restricting others she or he will be".
Good explanation of the rise of violence versus peace in society."
"I love this book. A colleague at school introduced me to it it in the early 1990's, and I reread parts of it every few years. I love how the author includes Eastern and Western concepts on religion, politics, medicine, life... you name it! I learned a lot of historical points, but more importantly, this book makes me think."
"This is a MUST READ for all women and all people who would like a different perspective on "his-story" than the white mans story which is taught as fact in schools. This is a fascinating academically written "her-story" book. Teaches readers about Goddess worshiping cultures and how we went from these cultures where women where honored and genders were seen as equal, to the patriarchal world view that governs our societies today. It is SO educational and as a woman, it is empowering to know that it has not always been this way.. and so it does not always have to be this way. READ IT!"
