Restoring the Goddess: Equal Rites for Modern Women

Barbara G. Walker

Synopsis:
This is both an incisive critique of patriarchal religion and a bold proposal to establish a liberating alternative to the Judeo Christian tradition. Barbara Walker envisions a religion and a spirituality compatible with women's essential role in society and free of all the superstition and demeaning imagery characteristic of traditional, male dominated religion. Hearkening back to the widespread worship of a mother goddess at the dawn of civilization, Walker argues for a restoration of this primal religious sensibility, which celebrated the Earth's fertility and woman's innate power to bear new life.
