Description

This book explores the origins of gendered oppression and how male dominance has been established in societies from prehistory to the present. Through a combination of scientific research, archaeology, and cultural history, the author examines early human settlements and critiques simplistic theories about patriarchy. The narrative highlights the variability of patriarchy's formation across different regions and cultures, arguing that it is not an unchangeable aspect of humanity but a construct that has been continuously recreated. This examination invites readers to rethink their understanding of gender inequality.
