Description

In 1976, Merlin Stone published her book on the prevalence of goddess worship in most of human history until the introduction of Abrahamic religions who erased not only the female gods, but also the role of powerful women in society. The end of the female creator god, or rather the sidelining of her as a "great wife" or "nurturer of prophets", mirrored the lowered status of women in society. Stone illustrates this using ancient sculptors and art work. We had some help at the end of this episode from Dr. Amina Nawaz, who shared some of her own experience doing research on the feminine in Islamic theology.
