Speech by author Riane Eisler about her theories of partner-dominator societies. As a refugee of Nazi Germany, she formulates the fundamental question "do we have to live the way we do?" Societies are structured upon gender sterotypes, and the dominator model is only an historical detour in human development. She explores partnership models from other societies, women as Priestesses and Artisans, and the feminine nature of workshoping. She opposses the institutionalized violence in the current male culture, and presents a concept of partnership and economics which could grow to replace this system.|The chalice and the blade / produced by Riane Eisler and Pamela Burton. - Speech by author Riane Eisler about her theories of partner-dominator societies.
