Dr. Susanne R. Cook-GreuterThis is the story of womens evolution. It traces womens rich contribution to human evolutionary history alongside the conditions of her oppression and looks towards a future that integrates womens past wisdom with the full spectrum of present and future possibilities. In The Evolutionary Journey of Woman Dr Sarah Nicholson reclaims womens lost and hidden contributions to western historical development: her artefacts stories teachings and lost opportunities. She charts the tipping point conditions that shifted societies from gender equity into patriarchy and explains why this became so difficult to reverse.The Evolutionary Journey of Woman is academically rigorous historical philosophical and spiritual but most fundamentally it is a narrative. It takes woman as the heroine of history and gathers and re-weaves womens wisdom stories beginning with the very earliest heroine: the fascinating Sumerian goddess Inanna.
