However, this was not as easy as it would seem since vast majority of surviving records are his-story and are very short on details of her-story. In an attempt to keep women “in their place,” those who have followed Judeo-Christian religions destroyed most records of significance of women in early history. This is clearly seen in Bible when numerous times Jews are told to “completely destroy nations” who worshiped these other gods, of which many were actually goddesses.

It’s significant, I think, that at one point in history females shared title of divinity with males – and at times reigned as sole divinity. This part of our history shows woman in all her glory, not as fallen creature of Bible who must forever submit to a subservient position to man because she supposedly ate a forbidden fruit and coerced him to do same.

It’s time truth was known. Not presupposed “truth” garnered from what we have always been told is reality. That reality is severely lacking in other half of story. We see reality as we have always been taught to see it. If someone teaches me from young that a certain color is blue, and subsequently others then reinforce that teaching in my family, community, church, government, school, etc. – then I will believe color is actually blue.

But what if they are all wrong? What if blue is really yellow but no one wants to challenge errant teaching because one who said it was blue in first place claimed to be speaking on behalf of God? In end though, just because everyone believes this color to blue does not make it indeed blue. In fact, it is still yellow.

Yes, motherhood is hard, but mothers are not only women who suffer from a chronic case of dissatisfaction. Society is somehow always telling women that we should be doing something or being someone other than who we are right now. If we are single, people ask when we are going to get married. If we are married, people ask when we are going to have children. If we have children and go to work, we should be at home. If we have children and stay home, people wonder why we are "wasting" our education. If we are young, we should look older. If we are getting along in years, we should frantically chase that fountain of youth, whether it comes in a bottle, a pill, or operating room. We should be thinner, prettier, and more successful. We have internalized these messages to such a degree that our loudest critic just may be voice inside our own heads! We try so hard to measure up to some ideal vision of whom we should be and feel defeated when we don't meet that perfected version of ourselves.
