| Beyond Power: On Women, Men and Morals by Ballantine Books Beyond Power by Marilyn French not Romanticized---- |
| Beyond power is an excellent book which I do not feel deserves the criticism of being romantic toward matrarchy. In fact Dr. French prefers a "cenric" morphology when making matri- words (I believe) over the domineering "arch". (She loves females as they should be loved and respected.) This book is far from romantic in any way--it is a book of liberation over oppression and deserves a good couple of thought-out readings. She is not toward woman becoming an oppressive figure over the male; that would be hypocritical. Her message needs to still be heard and heard the world over. BP is a book of broad scope and it is here where I see a divergent and intense mind seeking a beautiful cause-- but does she go too broad--no pun intended. I just question if a book of that scope can be written by anyone without being a tad fantastic and out of pure fact. I love the book and its message and I know that Dr. French has changed lives in a positive way. Men (who think above subcortex) should not be scard to read BP. I believe in positive feminism and as a man I see her book as truth--a good broad truth for the global thinker. Thanks,' Doug Anderson |
| Beyond Power: On Women, Men and Morals by Ballantine Books THE TRUE HISTORY OF OUR WORLD |
| The most powerful, cohesive summary of world history I have ever read. Supported by incredible research (500+++ footnotes per chapter). Marilyn French has formed a work of such astonishing clarity and vision that I am at a loss as to how describe it. Buy it, read it, and LEARN! |
| Beyond Power: On Women, Men and Morals by Ballantine Books The most powerful book I have ever read! My eyes are opened |
| This book should be required reading in school because it is of such fundamental importance! I am giving a copy to every woman I know. |
| Beyond Power: On Women, Men and Morals by Ballantine Books The best desciption of the evolution of Patriarchy I've read |
| This book traces the origins and developement of the cult of power showing how the way that we are culturally organised today with men or pseudo men in positions of power was not always this way and is therefore not 'God given'. She also shows that it has become so entrenched in our world that it does not exist in any place such as politics, industry, church etc but is now in all of us, in the way we think how we see and interpret things, and that we all need to look into our selves to find the way out of this. With an excellent grasp of the undertow of history she also shows that there have been many revolutions against power but they have all been squashed or assimillated into power, control and domination such as the Langadoc area in France the location of Chivalry, a sort of worship of the feminine that was destroyed by the only Crusade to take place in Europe. So what to do if the more things change the more things remain the same. Read it and find out! Its a worthwhile journey and it is an adventure not to mention a step along the road to what we could be. |
