Description
The Living Goddesses By Marija Gimbutas This book crowns a lifetime of innovative work by a remarkable scholar, offering a groundbreaking interpretation of prehistoric European civilization. Gimbutas challenged conventional archaeology with her theory of goddess-centered cultures that predated patriarchal societies by thousands of years. The volume brings together Gimbutas's earlier research on "Old European" religion, as well as new discoveries and insights, providing a comprehensive overview of her ideas. The book is divided into two parts, the first summarizing her earlier work on matrilineal cultures, and the second exploring the role of goddesses in modern times. Editor Miriam Robbins Dexter has added introductory and concluding remarks, summaries, and annotations to this posthumous publication, which offers a unique insight into the work of a trailblazing scholar.
