The organization is "dedicated to research, education, and building tools to construct economic and social systems that support human beings and the planet that sustains us." Influence In 1987, Eisler founded The Center for Partnership Studies, which was later renamed The Center for Partnership Systems. She is editor-in-chief of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies at the University of Minnesota. Įisler has argued that the switch from partnership to dominator has led to gender biased monogamy, prostitution and illegitimacy, women's dependence and the acceptance of chronic war. The Chalice and the Blade has sold over 500,000 copies and been translated into around 25 languages. The fall into domination occurred around 6,500 years ago. According to her research, which references the work of archaeologists Marija Gimbutas and James Mellaart, among others, for millennia human societies were built on partnership, in which human capacity to give, nurture and sustain life was held in the highest regard, and shared responsibility was the gold standard. Partnership societies are characterized by gender equality, peace, sustainability, caring, while dominator societies are characterized by sexism, chronic war, ecological destruction, and unsustainability. In her third book The Chalice and the Blade, published in 1987, she coined the terms "partnership" and "dominator" to describe the two underlying forms of society. Her second book, published in 1979, was on the Equal Rights Amendment. Her first book, published in 1977, was Dissolution: No-Fault Divorce, Marriage, and the Future of Women. She has published thirteen books, including one memoir, The Gate, published in 2000. The lion's share of the book is devoted to a detailed history of human kind comparing and contrasting the two different basic types of worship: god worship and goddess worship, worship of a dominating war-like god and worship of a nurturing loving goddess. She is an attorney, legal scholar and author. The Chalice and the Blade is a book divided into two basic parts. Įisler has degrees in sociology and law from the University of California. She and her parents lived in a slum in Havanna for seven years, after which they emigrated to the United States, to Miami, New York, and Chicago before finally settling in Los Angeles. Eisler was born in Vienna in 1931 before her family fled from the Nazis in 1939 to Cuba.
