The War on Women

About the Book

Highby expertly cuts apart the 5000-year history of the war on women so that she can decode and explain the ancient - deliberately difficult and elitist – historical jargon for the sake of the intelligent general reader. Highby surprises us by showing how the war on women always played out as parallel to a war against Nature, as well as a class war. Therefore, the war devalues Nature, slaves, and lower-class men as well as women. This war influenced the Renaissance Spirit/Matter split with its witch burnings. It applies to current Darwinian versus Creationism arguments, too.

About the Author

A retired professor of religious studies and philosophy (Urbana University, Urbana, Ohio, where she taught on campus and at two off-campus sites at a men's prison and a woman's prison), author P.O. Highby was no "Ivory Tower" professor. She emphasizes that she obtained her Ph.D. in theology and philosophy not because she prefers these fields, but because she had learned from experience that these categories caused the most harm to women and children. Highby accidentally learned of the religious cover-up and outright erasure of data on the war on women and Nature while using science, not seminary, libraries.
