I gave this book two stars because I felt two points about the books ruined it for me. One, at the end of every chapter are paragraphs of supposedly "real" women's one sided views on everything and I think that marred the book by making it drag and taking away from the point the book was trying to make. The other reason was although I agree whole heartedly with the author's views on how christianity, judaism and islam are patriarchial religions that degrade, humiliate and keep women down, I do not agree with that women are somehow just automatically gentle souls who the only they every want to do is create life and nuture it. I believe that feeling over generalized the complexity of women. The point is supposed to be women are humans too and should be treated with respect. On the other hand this book is interesting because it points out so many things I never knew about the history of monothestic religion. Although I've always been aware of the sexist and cruelness of these religions the information she gave furthered my awareness at the horror that man has done in the name of God.
