Leonard Shlain in The Translucent Revolution:

“We now live in a world that is saturated with images. As a result, we're seeing an extraordinary surge of the feminine coming back into our society with women becoming priestesses again, being elected as judges and law makers.  This pattern will continue because  we've shifted from a text based society to an image based one."
