[ED: Softcover], [PU: harper perennial], HISTORY/WOMENS STUDIES The true stories of the astonishing women who ruled the ancient world and who, until now, have been banished from our history books To explore the lives of priestesses, who were once glamorous women at the center of civilization, Norma Lorre Goodrich has collected evidence from innumerable sources around the world. But, due in no small part to Western civilization's fears of matriarchal societies, these once-honored womenAmazons, Druid priestesses, Vestal Virgins, Medusa, the Oracles at Delphi, queens reigning in Egypt, Turkey, Libya, and Syriahave all been denigrated and dismissed, stripped from the history books. Drawing on the works of such scholars of mythology as Joseph Campbell, Robert Graves, Sigmund Freud, and Sir James Frazer, as well as many ancient historians and scholars long forgotten, Norma Lorre Goodrich uncovers the truth beneath the myths, revealing the roles women really played in the formation of our civilization. From Asia Minor to Ireland, thousands of priestesses who lived throughout the ancient world emerge in full glory once more. The centuries-old battle waged by malevolent or ill-informed historians against heroic women and their matriarchal societies has denied these women their places in history Priestesses restores them to their rightful honor. Norma Lorre Goodrich is a professor emeritus at the Claremont Colleges and the author of King Arthur, Merlin, Medieval Myths, and Ancient Myths.
