Cynthia Eller explores the intellectual history of the myth, which arose from male scholars who mostly wanted to vindicate the patriarchal family model as a higher stage of human development. Eller tells the stories these men told, analyzes the gendered assumptions they made, and provides the necessary context for understanding how feminists of the 1970's and 1980's embraced as historical "fact" a discredited nineteenth-century idea. 606 $aWomen, Prehistoric 606 $aReligion, Prehistoric 606 $aMatriarchy 606 $aMatrilineal kinship 606 $aPatriarchy 606 $aFeminist theory 615 0$aWomen, Prehistoric 615 0$aReligion, Prehistoric 615 0$aMatriarchy 615 0$aMatrilineal kinship 615 0$aPatriarchy 615 0$aFeminist theory 676 $a306.85/9 676 $a306.859 700 $aEller$b Cynthia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01553555 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781728303321 996 $aGentlemen and Amazons$93814202 997 $aUNINA
