Riane Tennenhaus Eisler (born 22 July 1931) is an Austrian-born American systems scientist and author who writes about the effect of gender politics historically on society.
Life[]
Eisler was born in Vienna in 1931 before her family fled from the Nazis to Cuba. She later emigrated to the United States. She has degrees in sociology and law from the University of California. She is an attorney, legal scholar and author. She is the founder of her "Center for Partnership Systems".[1]
She coined the term Dominator culture to describe a historical, yet theoretical conflict between an andrarchy (a form of patriarchy) and an alleged matriarchal culture.[citation needed] Eisler has argued that the switch from a mother focused society (Matrilineal) to a male focused society (Patrilineal) has led to gender biased monogamy, prostitution and illegitimacy, women's dependence and the acceptance of war.[2]
