From India to the Mediterranean . . . she reigned supreme

4. When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone

Considered a classic in the study of ancient Goddess worship, I thought it was time I gave this a read. It was a bit dry and difficult to concentrate on. It is definitely not something to read when your brain is tired from sorting through research articles. While it does read a bit like your high school history textbook, and it can be difficult to keep straight all the place and group names, I did learn a lot with the help of the various maps and Stone's clear writing.
