I am pleased to announce some exciting news. My book, Gender
and Religion: The Dark Side of Scripture, has been named as a finalist for
the Eric Hoffer/Montaigne Medal Award, honoring the most thought-provoking
books, and is eligible to win the Hoffer Grand Prize.
Each year, the Eric
Hoffer Award for books presents the Montaigne Medal to the most thought-provoking title(s). These are
books that either illuminate, progress, or redirect thought. The Montaigne
Medal is given in honor of the great French philosopher Michel de Montaigne,
who influenced people such as William Shakespeare, René Descartes, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Eric Hoffer. This is
an additional distinction beneath the Eric Hoffer Award umbrella.
"I felt all
the time he was writing about me. He knew my innermost thoughts."
-Eric Hoffer,
from his memoir, Truth Imagined
---- Barbara Crandall M.D., UCLA geneticist, is author of Gender and Religion, a work of non-fiction that explains the effect religions have had on women's progress.
