historians tell us that society began as matriarchal..meaning the women were in power over men, but it was in a different way. women were revered for their fertility, and "fertility" was understood as a concept that had more than one level of meaning to it.
can someone tell me when we switched from being martriarchal societies (women in power) to patriarchal societies (men in power) and the circumstances that caused this big change?
anyone know?
thanks.. :)
