Cassandra Speaks - Elizabeth Lesser
What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? What if women had been the storytellers? Elizabeth Lesser believes that if women's voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories - stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence.
Cassandra Speaks is about the stories we tell and how those stories become the culture. Stories written mostly by men with lessons and laws for all of humanity. We have outgrown so many of them, and still they endure.
