Dr. Riane Tennenhaus Eisler was born in Vienna and fled from the Nazis with her parents to Cuba as a child. She later emigrated to the United States. She has degrees in sociology and law from the University of California. She is an attorney, legal scholar, and author of many popular books and articles, as well as the president of the Center for Partnership Studies. Eisler has been described as a cultural historian, an evolutionary theorist, and a social thinker by her supporters.
She coined the term Dominator culture to describe a historical, yet theoretical conflict between an andrarchy (a form of patriarchy) and an alleged matriarchal culture.
