The Roots of Patriarchy

By combining legal and genealogical methodologies, this book details patriarchy's development in the West, enabling the reader to understand what it is. By reconstructing how patriarchy has been theorized in several disciplines and historical times, the book reflects on what has been done and remains to be done to de-patriarchalize the West.
