For those interested in more anthropological sources, two books I found
interesteing while in Grad school in the early '70s were:
"Mothers; the Institution and Taboos" by Briffault (French 1927
unabridged is 3 fat volumes with each page 1/2 footnotes,great for
reference resources )
"Mothers and Amazons" by Helen Diner (German 1939 trans. to Eng in'60s)
