December 29, 2017 WLRN’s Thistle Pettersen, who interviewed Riane Eisler recently for the Women?s Liberation Radio News, commented that Dr. Eisler is ?a prominent scholar who influenced [my] thinking greatly in [my] youth. Dr. Eisler contributes much to conversations past and present about the status of women and how radical and lesbian feminists are on the cutting edge of the movement for a more humanitarian and just society.?
Dr. Eisler is president of the Center for Partnership Studies (www.cps2021.raredimension.com) and editor in chief of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies housed at the University of Minnesota. Her book The Real Wealth of Nations was hailed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu as ?a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking,? by Gloria Steinem as ?revolutionary,? and inspired the Center for Partnership Studies? Caring Economy Campaign (www.caringeconomy.org) which offers online leadership training and has developed new Social Wealth Economic Indicators that demonstrate the enormous economic value of the work of care still largely performed by women worldwide.
Riane Eisler is an eminent social scientist, attorney, and women?s human rights activist who pioneered the recognition of women?s rights as human rights. She is best known for her writings, including the international bestseller, The Chalice and The Blade, translated into 26 languages and now in its 57th US printing, with a new epilogue. She founded the first center on women and the law in the United States, wrote the Equal Rights Handbook on the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, and is the author of other award winning books as well as hundreds of articles and book chapters.
