Gentlemen and Amazons: The Myth of Matriarchal Prehistory, 1861–1900
Cynthia Eller
Traces the nineteenth-century genesis and development of an important contemporary myth about human origins: that of an original prehistoric matriarchy. This title explores the intellectual history of the myth, which arose from male scholars who mostly wanted to vindicate the patriarchal family model as a higher stage of human development.
