The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future Audiobook (Free)

Riane Eisler reads this new, accessible adaptation of her ground-breaking common The Chalice as well as the Blade, in which she combined original theory with noted scholarship or grant to tell a new tale of our cultural roots. Drawing evidence from literature, art, sociology, archeology, politics, and economics, she eloquently reconstructs a prehistoric tradition based on collaboration instead of domination. She then traces the roots of the global shift to patriarchy, showing that was as well as the ‘war from the sexes’ are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. Finally, and most considerably, she provides brand-new scripts for living, proving that a better upcoming is possible, and is actually rooted in the drama of our past.
