The story of human evolution that we've been told is one built on the shoulders of male heroism, competition and dominance: but, what if it isn't the whole story? "Finally, a well-written book about the evolution and fate of being a woman in the changing landscape of history and culture... rich and moving... a must read." Dr. Susanne R. Cook-Greuter This is the story of women's evolution. It traces women's rich contribution to human evolutionary history alongside the conditions of her oppression, and looks towards a future that integrates women's past wisdom with the full spectrum of present and future possibilities. In The Evolutionary Journey of Woman Dr Sarah Nicholson reclaims women's lost and hidden contributions to western historical development: her artefacts, stories, teachings, and lost opportunities. She charts the tipping point conditions that shifted societies from gender equity into patriarchy, and explains why this became so difficult to reverse. The Evolutionary Journey of Woman is academically rigorous, historical, philosophical, and spiritual, but most fundamentally it is a narrative. It takes woman as the heroine of history and gathers and re-weaves women's wisdom stories, beginning with the very earliest heroine: the fascinating Sumerian goddess Inanna.

For a time, it seemed that a great storehouse of women's treasure had been forever lost; the stories of heroines who had awoken to the call to adventure, and faced down challenges, in order to bring the gifts born through their trials into the world. The tales collected in the Heroines Anthology begin before time began. Its stories travel alongside some of the forgotten women of history, and it imagines its heroines all the way into the unknown territory of the future. With a focus on reimagining the heroines of legend, fairytale, and mythology, in ways that are both resonant and startlingly new, The Heroines Anthology presents a challenging and soulful collection of short fiction and poetry by women writers that interrogates the traditional power dynamics of classic literature, while touching on the deeper questions of women's true nature.
