Talk: When God was a Woman (Non-fiction)
Details
As March arrives—and with it Women’s History Month—we’re turning our attention to a bold, boundary-pushing book that asks us to reconsider everything we think we know about power, religion, and history. When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone is a landmark exploration of ancient cultures that worshipped the Great Goddess, and the long, deliberate suppression of women’s spiritual authority that followed.
Beginning with the provocative idea that “In the beginning, God was a woman…,” Stone invites us to look beneath the surface of recorded history and examine what was lost, rewritten, or erased along the way. This month, we’ll dig into these forgotten narratives, question whose stories get preserved, and explore what reclaiming them might mean for us today.
History—but make it revolutionary.
