Patriarchy. The Origins of Gender Inequality

For centuries, society has considered male dominance as natural for the human race. But how would we perceive the world if we did not assume that men have always dominated women? In this bold and radical book, science journalist Angela Saini explores the roots of what we call patriarchy and delves into the complex history – how it first took root in societies and spread across the world from prehistoric times to the present day. She travels to the most ancient settlements, analyzes the results of recent research in history, archaeology, and anthropology, and arrives at the very origins of gender inequality.
