This text proposes two models of human history: the blade represents the "dominator model", a world of conflict and domination, threatened with environmental destruction; the chalice represents the "partnership model", a society based on equality and co-operation. Eisler uncovers the existence, prehistory, of a goddess culture where the chalice held sway and there was peace for humankind.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Book is in great shape. Dust jacket has a small tear at upper fore-edge side of front cover. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 261 pp. An important work in the late-twentieth century feminist canon reimagining the Neolithic and Paleolithic eras as a goddess-centric Eden. An ERA proponent and anti-nuclear activist, Eisler explores this ancient shift from a 'life-generating or nurturing' system (symbolized by the chalice or grail) to one based on domination, and makes this transition relevant to our own rapidly shifting world.
