The essay explores the cult of the goddess in different cultures and eras, from prehistoric Venus to Isis, medieval Virgins and Hindu goddesses. It analyzes creation, fertility and abundance, as well as the progressive displacement of the feminine principle by masculine hierarchies, and reviews archetypes such as the warrior, the queen and the witch.
It is the Spanish translation of the English original The Goddess: Power, Sexuality, and the Feminine Divine, published in 1995; the Spanish edition appeared in 1997.
For readers interested in mythology, history of religions, gender studies and contemporary spirituality.
