Eve and Me: The shadow that spans 3000 years - Paperback

by Karen Gilden (Author)

Raised in the post-war 1940s and '50s, Gilden, like most of her peers, was taught that women's work and women's role was in the home. But when America asked "Rosie the Riveters" to work in the country's factories during the war, women answered the call. After WWII ended, those workers were told to go back to their kitchens-their jobs now belonged to men.

Karen, still a child, wondered why.

If you've ever wondered why women are too-often treated as second-class citizens, or as objects to be used or abused, you aren't alone. After years of observing the treatment and rise-and-fall prospects of women, writer Gilden wanted to know more. Why was the millennia-old goddess so rudely shoved aside? How and when did males achieve the dominance and power they exploit today? And why have the words of Jesus, who treated women equitably, been forgotten? Is the current zeitgeist going to change women's lives for better or for worse?

Read it and be ready.
