Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to edge. Slight shelf wear to D/J. Starting with women in prehistory, the author looks beyond the myth of 'Man the Hunter' to reveal women's central role in the survival and evolution of the human race. She follows their progress from the days when God was a woman through to the triumphs of the Amazons and Assyrian war queens: she looks at the rise of organised religion and the frowing oppression of women; she charts the long, slow struggle for women's rights movements; and finally she presents a vision of women breaking free. This brilliant and absorbing book turns the spotlight on the underside of history to present a fascinating new view of the world, overturning our preconceptions to restore women to their rightful place at the centre of the worldwide story of revolution, empire, war and peace. Spiced with tales of individual women who have shaped history, celebrating the work and lives of the unsung female millions, distinguished by a wealth of research, this book redifines the concept of historical reality. 288 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
