Upon reconnecting with the very essence of the female spirit—that which unites all daughters throughout time—Crawford decided to pursue and discover its “herstory.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on years of research, she explores every aspect of the evolution of womanhood over the past ten thousand years: culture, government, religion, professions, laws, customs, family, fashion, marriage, commerce, art, industry, and sexuality. Charting the trajectory of female communion, Crawford delves into the Goddess culture of the Neolithic period, in which self-sovereign women governed, built empires, and were deified; explores the Inquisition in which women were demonized, brutalized, and erased from history; and celebrates the rebirth of the WomanSpirit and its influence over generations on the Western world.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Both an enlightening journey and an invaluable reference, \u003ci\u003eDaughters of the Inquisition\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the rise, endurance, survival, and lasting impact of the WomanSpirit—its givers of life, its queens, and its warriors.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108488397040,"sku":"9781504049054","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504049054_p0.jpg?v=1769897943","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504049054","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
