What if women had a means to protect themselves from violent men and administer punishment? What if there existed a secret feminist organization, Telea, equipped with unlimited resources, dedicated to women’s empowerment and protection? This is the tale of Telea and its leader, the Mother of Stones, spanning from its inception during the Mesolithic era to the present, facing challenges, and concluding in a future where society has evolved significantly. This novel blends speculative fiction with elements of fantasy and science fiction, inviting readers to envision a better world for women, men, and children. Avelina da Silveira narrates with an intimate tone, akin to sharing a story with a friend. It begins with the account of a dying woman named N ́kura, who lived 11 thousand years ago. N ́kura discovers a collection of nanobots, resembling a beautiful stone, becoming the first Mother of Stones. From her lineage, future Mothers of Stones are chosen. The protagonist resides in our contemporary era, selected to assume the role of the Mother of Stones, eventually triggering a profound and transformative upheaval in humanity. This narrative lingers in the reader’s mind well beyond the final page, courtesy of the ethical dilemmas it presents and the myriad possibilities it encourages readers to contemplate.

"As a plain record of a curious form of society which must soon be numbered with the past, the book may continue to possess an interest even when, with the progress of its knowledge, its errors shall have been corrected and its theories perhaps superseded by others which make a nearer approach to truth." Despite having been criticised later, the book at hand is an important and interesting document of its time. It provided the first complete ethnographical summary of totemism and exogamy, dwelling on its religious and social aspects. Totemism is described as a religious and social system in which people or clans regard themselves as related to certain objects. Exogamy, which is often found in conjunction with totemism, is represented as a system which only allows marriage outside of a specific group. On the whole, Frazer's work includes the origins as well as an ethnographical survey of totemism and exogamy in Australian Aboriginal tribes. Sir James George Frazer was a Scottish social anthropologist who contributed mainly to the studies of mythology and comparative religion and was the first to detail the relations between myths and rituals. His work Totemism and Exogamy is also frequently cited by Sigmund Freud in his own study Totem and Taboo.

First published in 1967, this book gives some of the fruits of the author's study of Tikopia ways of thought as the result of three field expeditions. Most Polynesians became Christians more than a century ago but Tikopia had a substantial pagan population until quite recent years. This book of essays describes rites and beliefs of a people who still maintained their traditional institutions remote from civilization. Studies of totemism, of magic and of beliefs in the fate of the soul in the afterworld, not only throw new light on Polynesian attitudes but also contribute some novel ideas to the interpretation of standard theoretical problems in social anthropology. Studies of rumour, suicide, and a new essay on spirit mediumship, also provide links between social anthropology and psychology. A general review based on the author's visit in 1966 describes the modern position after the adoption of Christianity.
