A groundbreaking exploration of gendered oppression—its origins, its histories, our attempts to understand it, and our efforts to combat it. For centuries, prominent thinkers have treated male domination among humans as natural or inevitable. But how would our understanding of gender inequality—our imagined past and contested present—look if we didn’t assume that men have always ruled over women? If we saw gendered oppression as something fragile, that, alongside other forms of inequality, has had to be constantly remade and reasserted? In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini explores the roots of what we call patriarchy, uncovering a complex history of how it first became embedded in societies and spread across the globe from prehistory into the present.
