This landmark work
presents the most illuminating portrait we have to date of goddesses and
sacred female imagery in Western culture—from prehistory to
contemporary goddess movements. Beautifully written, lucidly conceived,
and far-ranging in its implications, this work will help readers gain a
better appreciation of the complexity of the social forces— mostly
androcentric—that have shaped the symbolism of the sacred feminine. At
the same time, it charts a new direction for finding a truly egalitarian
vision of God and human relations through a feminist-ecological
spirituality.
Rosemary Radford Ruether begins her exploration of
the divine feminine with an analysis of prehistoric archaeology that
challenges the popular idea that, until their overthrow by
male-dominated monotheism, many ancient societies were matriarchal in
structure, governed by a feminine divinity and existing in harmony with
nature. For Ruether, the historical evidence suggests the reality about
these societies is much more complex. She goes on to consider key myths
and rituals from Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Anatolian cultures;
to examine the relationships among gender, deity, and nature in the
Hebrew religion; and to discuss the development of Mariology and female
mysticism in medieval Catholicism, and the continuation of Wisdom
mysticism in Protestanism. She also gives a provocative analysis of the
meeting of Aztec and Christian female symbols in Mexico and of today's
neo-pagan movements in the United States.
