Nature and Other Mothers

Summary: "POWER IN THE BOOD" OF WOMEN - NOT JESUS!
Review: I read this book back in April 1996 and could not put it down! Brenda Peterson really captured my feelings of joy and frustration being a woman living in a "dominant" society. Born and raised in Seattle, I identified with her stories of living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where Mother Nature seems to fill every nook and cranny. SHE is everywhere! Brenda's essay titled "Power in the Blood" was so eye-opening in that it shows the way fundamentalists have blindly followed a religion that has made women the cause of all the world's problems, not seeing that the true causes of starvation, warfare and cruely stem from the ancient belief that men must be in control and dominate women and nature by so-called "divine right". As far as I'm concerned, that kind of thinking has just got to go! Thank you, Brenda, for a truly "truthfull" and insightful book. Blessed Be! Love and Light to you and all who read this book.
