Françoise Héritier
Follows the life of French anthropologist Françoise Héritier, who had a lasting impact on a generation of French anthropologists that continues to this day.

She was an Africanist, author of magnificent works on the Samo population, the scientific progenitor of kinship studies, the creator of a theoretical base to feminist thought and an activist for many causes. “I read this intellectual biography of Françoise Héritier with great pleasure. Though highly regarded in France, she is not yet well known in English-language academic circles, but she...
Françoise Héritier, la biographie

Dictionnaire Claude Lévi-Strauss
Ce dictionnaire, d'une ampleur et d'une ambition sans équivalent, rassemble, sous la direction de Jean-Claude Monod, les éléments d'une pensée et d'une vie qui se trouvèrent au point de convergence, et parfois de friction, de nombreuses disciplines – philosophie, anthropologie, linguistique, sociologie, mythologie comparée, histoire de l'art, poétique... – et de plusieurs continents – Europe, Amériques du Sud et du Nord, Asie...

Mary and Early Christian Women
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book reveals exciting early Christian evidence that Mary was remembered as a powerful role model for women leaders—women apostles, baptizers, and presiders at the ritual meal. Early Christian art portrays Mary and other women clergy serving as deacon, presbyter/priest, and bishop. In addition, the two oldest surviving artifacts to depict people at an altar table inside a real church depict women and men in a gender-parallel liturgy inside two of the most important churches in Christendom—Old Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the second Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Dr. Kateusz’s research brings to light centuries of censorship, both ancient and modern, and debunks the modern imagination that from the beginning only men were apostles and clergy.
