Art in ancient goddess-centered societies was an inseparable part of daily life, deeply connected with the spiritual life of the community, lifeaffirming and communal, a process rather than a commodity. Blending theory, criticism, and ritual, The Dancing Goddess reveals the foundations of this ancient tradition of "matriarchal art;" and shows how that tradition flourishes in the works of major contemporary women artists and in contemporary women's spirituality.
