Summary
The Chalice and the Blade tells a new story of our cultural origins, tracing humanity’s long-forgotten history into deep prehistory. This landmark work of feminist history shows that warfare and the war of the sexes are not our only legacy, revealing that the "dominator model" of society is not our only option. Drawing from archaeology and other fields, it provides verification that a more peaceful "partnership model" is possible, offering a hopeful blueprint for our future cultural evolution that is firmly rooted in the haunting dramas of our past.
