Now with an updated epilogue celebrating the 30th anniversary of this groundbreaking and increasingly relevent book.
"May be the most significant work published in all our lifetimes." â?? LA Weekly
The Chalice and the Blade tells a new story of our cultural origins. It shows that warfare and the war of the sexes are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. It provides verification that a better future is possibleâ??and is in fact firmly rooted in the haunting dramas of what happened in our past… (meer)
Een boek dat rechtstreeks naar mijn top 10 aller tijden gaat: Riane Eisler brengt heel veel inzichten samen ivm de onderdrukking van de vrouw en uiteindelijk de mens - A book that goes straight to my top 10 of all times. Riane Eisler brings together loads of insights in the repression of women and eventually humankind. ( )
I am very glad to have stumbled upon and bought this book. It is an eye opener, thought provoking, and its social commentary still relevant. One very valued read. ( )
Validates a belief in humanity's capacity for benevolence and cooperation in the face of so much... destruction. Eisler has brought the scope of feminist scholarship out of the ghetto.

We alone can imagine and realize new realities, and so are partners in our own evolution. [xiv]
The story of Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection bears a striking resemblance to those of earlier 'mystery cults' revolving around a divine Mother and her son...or daughter as in Demeter and Kore.[xvi].
When our ancestors began to ask the eternal questions (Where do we come from before we are born? Where do we go after we die?), they must have noted that life emerges from the body of a woman. [xvi]
From re-examining human society from a gender-holistic perspective, a new theory of cultural evolution is necessary....Cultural Transformation theory, with two basic models: (1) Dominator -- involves ranking humanity, (2) Partnership--in which linking is the principle.
In this model--beginning with the most fundamental difference in our species, between male and female--diversity is not equated with either inferiority or superiority.[xviii]
We now stand at a potentially decisive branching point. At a time when the lethal power of the Blade--amplified a millionfold by megatons of nuclear warheads--threatens to put an end to all human culture…. [xviii]
Movements for social justice are part of an underlying thrust for transformation of a dominator to a partnership system. These movements may be seen as part of our species' evolutionary thrust for survival. [xx]
We stand again at a cross-road. The roots of our present global crises go back to the fundamental shift in our prehistory that brought enormous changes not only in social structure but also in technology. [xx]
