-	'''''The First Sex''''' is a [[1971]] book by the American librarian [[Elizabeth Gould Davis]], considered part of the [[Second-wave feminism|second wave of feminism]]. In the book, Gould Davis aimed to show that early human society consisted of [[matriarchy|matriarchal]] "queendoms" based around worship of the "[[Great Goddess]]", and characterised by pacifism and democracy. Gould Davis argued that the early matriarchal societies attained a high level of [[civilization]], which was largely wiped out as a result of the "patriarchal revolution". She asserted that [[patriarchy]] introduced a new system of society, based on [[property rights]] rather than human rights, and worshipping a stern and vengeful male [[deity]] instead the caring and nurturing [[Mother Goddess]].	+
