When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone

4.0

Oh, what a refreshing read! When the full arsenal of a seasoned scholar, this insidious woman dared to challenge the myth of the sinful Eve, the sinful serpent, and the fall from grace. Here the conquering penis of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and even Buddhism (!) is unveiled to reaveal a forotten mythological history where the half of our species that can actually create life was on top of things. As someone to whom the word "man" is mostly an insult - though as much cringing at feminism (or any -ism, for the matter) - this is mandatory reading.
