And as a warning about the appalling extremes of human behavior and male weirdness, it's indispensable."-Margaret Atwood, "The Times" (London) In her powerful and bold writing style, best-selling author Marilyn French synthesizes women's history from our pre-historical roots through the rise of states across the globe to the onset of state-backed religions in this first of four readable volumes. |
