How have ‘the classics’ influenced your work?</p></blockquote><p>One book profoundly influenced my life. It is proof why conservatives and the religious suspect higher education, especially for women, and are trying to cripple both colleges and education institutions in general. I read this book at university. It was assigned reading in an art history class. <strong>I read it and within a year became an agnostic.</strong> I literally lost my religion, lost faith; admittedly, other factors came into play. </p><p>I had many reasons to champion women's right, but this work was clarifying. (Note I'm not using the word "seminal" for etymological reason.) If you are a feminist, or are appalled by toxic masculinity or patriarchy, you should read this. It's a well researched art history book supported by archeological evidence about the origins of patriarchy and the destruction of prior matriarchal societies in the middle east of which there are plenty of echoes in the Old Testament.</p><p>Merlin Stone, <em>When God was a Woman.</em></p><p>Amazon link (not affiliated): <a href="https://www.amazon.com/When-God-Woman-Merlin-Stone-ebook/dp/B0083DJYIK" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">amazon.com/When-God-Woman-Merl</span><span class="invisible">in-Stone-ebook/dp/B0083DJYIK</span></a> </p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a>.

#VendrediLecture ?
#VendrediLecture !
Trop de projets se choquent et s'entrechoquent, trop de fatigue s'accumule pour avoir, réellement, le temps et l'esprit à la lecture.
Mais. Quand même.
→ #Fiction : on continue le "American Gods" de Neil Gaiman (2002), et c'est toujours un mélange d'émerveillement et de régal devant cette façon qu'à l'écrivain de décrire ses situations. De nous plonger dans la vie. 
→#Essai : pas réellement de lecture ces derniers temps, mais récupéré hier soir le "Les algorithmes contre la société" de @hubertguillaud, lors d'une soirée débat. Il vient tout juste de sortir.
Lecture dans les prochains jours, c'est certain.
Et vous ?
