[Brian Griffith]

This is a dense, detailed look at the archaeological legacy of Marija Gimbutas's work on prehistoric Europe. It shows how her discoveries have challenged older assumptions about the origins of civilization and the roles of women in it. More recent work has filled in a more complete picture, but this volume is still mainly fascinating.

“Our social theories are currently produced from within the very reality that most need to be explained. They are products of the androcentric Story and they narcissistically self-reference that Story. [...] The heretic is one who dares to use outside points of reference.”—Artemis March
