Summary

For as long as we have sought god, we have found the goddess. Ruling over the imaginations of humankind's earliest agricultural civilisations, she played a critical spiritual role as a keeper of nature's fertile powers and an assurance of the next sustaining harvest. The authors take us back into prehistory, tracing the goddess across vast spans of time to tell the epic story of the transformation of belief and what it says about who we are.
