This text proposes two models of human history: the blade represents the "dominator model", a world of conflict and domination, threatened with environmental destruction; the chalice represents the "partnership model", a society based on equality and co-operation. Eisler uncovers the existence, prehistory, of a goddess culture where the chalice held sway and there was peace for humankind.
