Matilda Joslyn Gage

this is the picture of the woman who took on the entire system from its religion to its politics, and to the economic practices of its politics and religion. She wrote a book called "Woman Church and State". It has the academic scholarship that traces the shift from matriarchal lineage to patriarchal lineage, which has to do with the laws of inheritance of property, which are the basis for every world government.
She documents how the changing of religious "rites" always takes away "rights" both civil and economic. Her book went out of print for years. Because of the work our collective did at "woman to woman bookcentre" in denver,1983... the book was re-printed. We simply called the publishers and ordered two hundred copies. I bought several of them to give my grandchildren. This book must be read. It includes so much about american polygymy and women's free labor, it is more relevant now than ever before... net search it and look it up baby!!!!
love, the domestic goddess
