The second part of the book brings her knowledge to bear on what we know of the goddesses today-those who, in many places and in many forms, live on. It excellently illustrates the various manifestations of the Goddess. The first part of the book is an accessible, beautifully illustrated summation of all Gimbutas's earlier work on 'Old European' religion, together with her ideas on the roles of males and females in ancient matrilineal cultures. Editor Miriam Robbins Dexter has added introductory and concluding remarks, summaries, and annotations. Marija Gimbutas wrote and taught with rare clarity in her original-and originally shocking-interpretation of prehistoric European civilization. This volume, which was close to completion at the time of her death, contains the distillation of her studies, combined with new discoveries, insights, and analysis. The Living Goddesses crowns a lifetime of innovative, influential work by one of the twentieth-century's most remarkable scholars. Gimbutas flew in the face of contemporary archaeology when she reconstructed goddess-centered cultures that predated historic patriarchal cultures by many thousands of years.
