And social and political and family regression. And then that if it was defeated, we would see a time of regression. I predicted in my book, which I wrote a long time ago, it was about the proposed Equal Rights Amendment. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention and now it feels like we're back. And then it feels like it went out of fashion. Because I feel like there was a moment, a time in the ‘90s, and you would obviously know much better when there was this sort of incredible amount of people like you really thinking and talking about some of these big questions around systemic oppression, particularly in the context of women and the way that we tell our stories about history. And it brings it up to date up to the Trump years. And that epilogue came out, I think with the 56th one. And I want to ask people to please because people buy online, they buy old copies, but at least it's now in its 56th or 57th U.S. And so I was familiar with you and then I started digging in, I'm working on a book about the patriarchy, and I just went into a deep hole with your work of just being sort of alternately amazed and excited by how prescient and even The Chalice & the Blade, which is almost 30 years old, is that accurate? I grew up with parents who listened to a lot of NPR. So I remember, I think it was over my head, but I remember when The Chalice & the Blade first came out and what a sort of hit it was.

Eisler’s work challenges each of us to play a role in the construction of a more equitable, more sustainable, and less violent world through investment in human infrastructure and a dedication to raising future generations by different scripts and constructs than those given to us. “We humans were really wired more for partnership than for domination,” she says.

In the book, Eisler implores us to awaken to the notion that injustice, inequality, violence, and domination do not tell the full story of human possibility. Eisler joins me today to discuss her newest work, Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future. “What we’ve been told is simply a false story of our past, of our present, and most importantly today, the possibilities for our future,” she explains. In it, and all of her books, Riane explores the ways in which hierarchies of dominance-which are NOT our natural state-inform how we live now. Riane Eisler, social systems scientist, cultural historian, futurist, attorney and internationally bestselling author of many notable classics, including Sacred Pleasure and The Chalice and the Blade, which I read recently and LOVED-while it came out in the ‘80s, it is incredibly prescient-prophetic really-and more relevant than ever.
