Description
The first volume of the New York Times -bestselling author's monumental and unprecedented history: "Consistently thought-provoking" ( The New York Review of Books ). The internationally celebrated author of The Women's Room , Marilyn French spent over fifteen years with a team of researchers and prominent historians examining women's lives and activities in civilizations and societies spanning the ages. Beginning in prehistory, Origins moves on to examine women's lives in ancient Egypt, China, India, Peru, Mexico, Greece, and Rome. In her reconstruction of wars, laws, and other activities affecting both women and men, French also traces the worldviews underpinning them. She also depicts how women's relationship to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam changed for good and bad over the centuries. "She backs up even her more controversial theories with an impressive accumulation of academically accepted historical, anthropological and sociological sources . . Written in concise, understated language, this is a significant addition to literature on women's studies and history." -- Publishers Weekly.
