| Publisher Description: Now with an updated epilogue celebrating the 30th anniversary of this groundbreaking and increasingly relevant book. May be the most significant work published in all our lifetimes. - LA Weekly The Chalice and the Blade tells a new story of our cultural origins. It shows that warfare and the war of the sexes are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. It provides verification that a better future is possible--and is in fact firmly rooted in the haunting dramas of what happened in our past. |
