Madonna Magdalene and Beyond: Feminine Power hidden in empire culture: why? how? what's next?

Our histories focus almost entirely on a relatively small group of men making big decisions in big buildings in cities, but most folks living at any given time were unaffected by their maneuverings. This book looks at "the other half" of the story, explaining how history and religion came to focus on those men, how that tendency affects our lives now, and what new ways of being are emerging. The key to understanding what's happening today - and how we might thrive in the future - is to be found in the lives of Mary the mother of Jesus, the Magdalene, and their predecessors.
