This classic 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 were the chalice held sway and there was peace for humankind. Today we stand at a crossroads - we can continue to live by the blade, or return to the life-giving chalice.

While I was always very aware that our culture reeked of misogyny and patriarchy (which Eisler refers to as a "system of dominance" as opposed to a "system of partnership"), it was never so clearly THE MAJOR PROBLEM until I read this extremely well-researched book. This is the foundation for her many following works and her Center for Partnerships Systems.
