Why Does Patriarchy Persist? Paperback – 7 Sept. 2018

A very concise, clear and convincing read.The patriarchy persists at the expense of humanity and through maintaining a constant division in interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.As a professional with existing knowledge of psychological theory and practice, this book made for a clear and persuasive read. I think lay readers may struggle with some of the concepts since technical terms are used which people familiar with the theories will understand while those less familiar may struggle. I think readers may be left asking the question, 'why did Patriarchy start?'; I know I was a bit. But it's not what the book sets out to answer and it was enough for me to keep reminding myself of that as I read; keep remembering the title!A good read in any case, strongly recommend.

This compressed but powerful guide to research showing the roots of patriarchal attitudes is a must read for anyone trying to find their way through our modern era of backlash and misogyny. A fascinating and authoritative exploration of the underpinnings of emotional harm and disjunction that lead to hatred and violence.

Great book!

This book is great, very thought provoking and informative information about the patriarchy and how it’s hurting society, such a great read theses woman are awesome. I highly recommend this if you’re interested in deconstructing the misogyny within us. 🫶🏽

Loved the fabric, style and fit. Happy with the green and gray colours that I bought. They were as expected.

This book helps to deeply understand what we all wondering: why, nowadays in western countries still women are still struggling to have their voice heard, and even are silenced by other women as well... The psychological analysis of the deep unconscious drivers was an eye opener, a « aha » read that should be a « must read » for any human being to stop this infernal circle, so that any newborn whatever their gender is equally raised...Really fondamental book to be read by all of us, male or female, so we could se the society really change for the best of both men and women

The authors put to words (occasionally hard for me to follow but I’m so glad I stuck with it) everything that has been impossible for me to see and express clearly in all my years of trying to. I will continue to delve into Gilligan’s work and that of others who she cites. I truly believed this is transformative.

Reveals clearly the pathological and psychological nature of patriarchy and the roadmap for moving away. Fascinating theory and ideas! A great read!
