Review
A useful and thought-provoking guide, pointing the way to a more humane future by enhancing our understanding of the past and present.
Summary
A probing account of the honored place of older women in ancient matriarchal societies restores to contemporary women an energizing symbol of self-value, power, and respect.
Ms. Walker takes the reader on another richly detailed, peripatetic journey through history never covered in textbooks.
A strong affirmation of women''s power to say no to out-of-control patriarchal power. [Walker] encourages women to . . . develop a new moral system in an otherwise doomed world.
A very spiritually satisfying book . . . about the repression, denial, and punishment of wisdom among "older" women. . . . The book is also about how much we need such wisdom if we are to survive as a species.
