Profound thoughts and ideas on feminism await readers as author C.F. Thomas, Ph.D. presents Women's Lives,
Men's Myths: Snakeoil, Patriarchy, and the old God Trick, made available through Xlibris. Written twenty years ago, this volume began as the author's dissertation that has become a
psychological, theological, and literary book designed for women. Emerging from her desire to integrate and synthesize an interdisciplinary background and scholarship in psychology, literature, and theology, Thomas developed a union that focuses
on a core curriculum in women's studies. As women came together to dialogue, with new concepts and information from
a wide variety of sources, something wonderful began to happen-new texts emerged in the form of poetry, journals, songs, autobiographies, family histories, and short stories. "It was my intent then and now to illuminate that we do not want to know what we do not know; thus, we tell lies to ourselves and one another, lies we tell so often and so loudly that we
ultimately believe they are true," the author states. Women's Lives, Men's Myths: Snakeoil, Patriarchy, and the old God Trick submits that the real battle in the twenty-first century will be the battle for truth versus the ancient and superstitious myths and the harm they have done and are
continuing to do. This book examines why and how these myths originated and the catastrophic disasters they have perpetrated and will continue to perpetuate. Ultimately this text submits the need for a return to a more woman, earth, and universe-centered mode of care and concern.
