“Who cooked the Last Supper? If it had been a man, wouldn’t he have a saint’s day by now, with a fervent following of celebrity chefs?”

So begins Miles history of the world from a women’s perspective. You may not agree with some of her more radical theories, but that’s not the point. The importance of this book is that it presents an alternative interpretation that prompts us to re-examine our view of the world.

“Women are the race itself, the strong primary sex, and man the biological afterthought…woman’s the basic “X” chromosome…while the creation of a male requires the branching off of the divergent “Y” chromosome, seen by some as a genetic error…Women therefore are the original, the first sex, the biological norm from which males are only a deviation…femaleness is the norm, the fundamental form of life.”
