In The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image, Leonard Shlain explores the impact of literacy on the development of human society, culture, and gender roles. Shlain posits that the advent of alphabetic writing shifted human cognition from a holistic, image-based understanding of the world—often associated with feminine principles—to a linear, text-based mode of thinking associated with masculine principles.
This transition, he argues, contributed to the decline of goddess-worshipping cultures and the rise of patriarchal societies. Shlain combines insights from history, anthropology, neurology, and mythology to support his thesis, suggesting that the way we process language and images has profound implications for gender dynamics and cultural evolution.
