Thread by @lucindaeen

Inspired by @ProfKRichardson, here's a thread of my early studies in #WomensHistory for International Women's month. These are mostly in chronological order, starting with:

Merlin Stone, When God Was a Woman, 1976/

And Stone's Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood, Vols. 1 & 2. 1979/

Mary Daly, Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism, 1978/

Carol P. Christ, Laughter of Aphrodite: Reflections on a Journey to the Goddess, 1987

She has many more books. This was just my 1st one.

@CarolPChrist continues to lead the Goddess Pilgrimage to Crete each spring and fall. I have had the honor to participate with her./

Marija Gimbutas, The Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe: 6500--3500 BC, Myths and Cult Images, 1982/

Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Patriarchy, 1986

Professor Lerner is the grand Mother of Women's Studies in the USA./

Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor, The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth, 1987/

Margaret Ehrenberg, Women in Prehistory, 1989

Combines scholarship in archaeology, anthropology, and #WomensStudies in an honest argument for the transition to Patriarchy. /

Rhiane Eisler, The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future, 1987

See also Eisler's Sacred Pleasure: Sex, Myth, and the Politics of the Body, 1995

@RianeEisler offers a hopeful perspective for social change through her Partnership Way organization.
