Invisible Women of Prehistory: Three Million Years of Peace, Six Thousand Years of War
Marlene Derlet, Judy Foster
Based on many years of research into ancient history and prehistory, this insightful tome argues that three million years of peace—a period when women's status in society was much higher than it is now—preceded the last 6,000 years of war during which men have come to hold power over women. The book challenges the idea accepted in academia that history is a linear development in which society is steadily moving out of a violent and patriarchal past to a more equitable and peaceful future, and it reexamines both the archaeological work of Marjia Gimbutas and recent research into the prehistories of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia and Oceania.
