Please Note
With regards to the selection of writings by Asphodel Long listed below, the term BCE (before Christian era) will be used in place of B.C., and CE (Christian era) in place of A.D. These terms do not imply an acceptance of a particular faith. A similar issue arises with the widely held assumption, of ‘C’ (in BCE and CE) standing for ‘common’. Many religions do not accept this dating as common as they have their own calendars.

Matriarchy Study Group
The Matriarchy Study Group published three pamphlets, available here as PDFs. We were unable to trace the copyright holders but hope that they will permit the material to remain here for the benefit of others.
In early 1977, the Group published Goddess Shrew. This was the Goddess issue of Shrew, which was an occasional periodical, published by a different group each time. Issues included Marriage Shrew, Non-Violence Shrew, and others.
The Group’s second publication was Menstrual Taboos (1978), and its third was Politics of Matriarchy (1979).
