Riane Eisler is best known for her international bestseller The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future (Harper Row), hailed by novelist Isabel Allende as "one of those magnificent key books that can transform us" and by anthropologist Ashley Montagu as "the most important book since Darwin's Origin of Species." It has been translated into 17 languages including Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese.

Her new book, Tomorrow's Children (Westview Press, 2000) outlines the Partnership Education young people need to meet the challenges of the 21st century - an education that Stanford Professor Nel Noddings writes is essential for human life to flourish.

Dr. Eisler was recently honored as the only woman among twenty great thinkers including Vico, Hegel, Spengler, Adam Smith, Marx, and Toynbee featured in Macrohistory and Macrohistorians, in recognition of the lasting importance of her work.

Her dramatic, just released, novel The Gate, based on her childhood after she and her parents fled from the Nazis to Cuba, and her tongue-in-cheek rewrite of the famous Sheherazade fairy tale (www.fatbrain.com) reveal still another fascinating aspect of this modern Renaissance woman who is increasingly recognized as one of the most original thinkers of our time.

Dr. Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Studies, a charismatic speaker who keynotes conferences worldwide, and a consultant to business and government. Dr. Eisler's other books, Sacred Pleasure, Dissolution, and The Equal Rights Handbook have also received wide use and critical praise, as have books she has co-authored such as The Partnership Way and Women, Men, and the Global Quality of Life (based on a study of statistical data from 89 nations). She is the author of over 100 essays and articles for publications ranging from Futures, Behavioral Science, Holistic Education Review, and Political Psychology to The UNESCO Courier, The International Journal of Women's Studies, the Human Rights Quarterly, and the World Encyclopedia of Peace.

She has taught at the University of California and Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, is a founding member of the General Evolution Research Group, a fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science and the World Business Academy, and has worked as a cultural historian and evolutionary theorist over the last twenty years. She has done pioneering work in human rights, expanding the vision of international organizations to include the rights of women and children. She serves on many boards and advisory councils, including the International Scientific Advisory Board of Pluriverso, the Editorial Board of World Futures, and the International Editorial Board of The Encyclopedia of Conflict, Violence, and Peace.
