Amazon by Barbara G. Walker

I read this book that I found in a pile of books in my garage. I remember while looking over the dust jacket, "huh boy, some feminist rant" but I needed something to read so I dropped it into my backpack.
It's a great story. Poignant. It's all about this female warrior who somehow travels from about 5,000 years BC to the present. The deeper meaning of the book is that it's about the transformation of Western Civilization from Matriarchal Paganism to Patriarchal Christianity. The result being the mess that we are living in these days. I feel like a traitor to my gender but Ms. Walker does indeed make highly intelligent and valid points.
I was encouraged to read it because I felt that the subject matter actually continued along the lines of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code. In that book, Dan Brown shows how the Catholic Church villified the feminine based pagan rituals branding priestesses "witches" and "whores" and proceeded to torture and kill millions of innocent women.
It's a great book. I think it should be made into a movie. I can see maybe Angelina Jolie playing Antiope, the main character.
Go read it! Coincidentally, you can purchase it from Amazon.com or is it just a coincidence?
