Description

The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule by Angela Saini In this groundbreaking book, Angela Saini sets out to uncover the true roots of gendered oppression, tracing the complex history of how male domination became embedded in societies and spread across the globe. From prehistory to the present day, Saini challenges simplistic universal theories, revealing that the nature and extent of patriarchy vary greatly depending on the region. Through her research, Saini shows how even revolutionary efforts to bring about equality have often ended in failure and backlash. She asks a crucial question: what part do we all play - women included - in keeping patriarchal structures alive, and why we need to look beyond the old narratives to understand why it persists today. By examining the latest research findings in science and archaeology, Saini provides a fresh perspective on a timeless issue, one that has far-reaching implications for our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
