Bell sheds new light on Martians & Venusians, January 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Men's Business, Women's Business: The Spiritual Role of Gender in the World's Oldest Culture (Paperback)
We've learned from John Gray that Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. How about a totally fresh view that is actually thousands of years old? Men's Business Women's Business is the result of Hannah Rachel Bell's life work with Australian Aboriginals. Her account bespeaks her dedication to accurate detail gained living with and learning from these remarkably spiritual people. Her contrast of aboriginal society with "modern" society is thoughtfully and accurately portrayed, rather than lightly taken for granted. I believe Bell speaks well for native peoples in Australia to a broad world audience as she takes us through life stages of both males and females. The book is dedicated to her close friend, David Mowaljarlai, an aboriginal "lawman", who often clarified myths and stories for her. Anyone interested in Native Peoples of our planet will gain insight from "Men's Business Women's Business"
