The serpent and the goddess
About this book
"The Serpent and the Goddess is a classic study of gender, power, and spirituality. Working her way through the corresponding ages of Eve, Brigit and Mary, Condren traces both the rise of patriarchal consciousness and its disturbing implications for society. By reclaiming a matri-centred culture that has been written out of history, the author offers us a view of a more optimistic future, reawakening us to the possibilities of an enriched female consciousness."--BOOK JACKET.
