I came across this at the library while looking for a different Riane Eisler book. It's a fascinating artifact published in 1978. While laws and the status of women have changed from the time of this book, it's clear that women's work and women's inherent value as human beings has not improved over time. I also found it fascinating that the conservative response of 1977 towards women's equality and worth as humans has not changed.
