Summary

Durante siglos, las sociedades han tratado la dominación masculina como lo «natural». ¿Y si viéramos, no obstante, la desigualdad de género como algo más frágil que ha tenido que ser constantemente reconstruido y reafirmado? En este libro audaz y radical, la reconocida periodista científica Angela Saini explora las raíces de lo que llamamos «patriarcado», descubriendo una historia compleja de cómo se incrustó por primera vez en las sociedades y se extendió por todo el mundo, desde la Prehistoria hasta el presente. Saini viaja a los asentamientos humanos más antiguos, analiza los últimos hallazgos de la ciencia y la arqueología y rastrea las historias culturales y políticas desde las Américas hasta Asia. Hace más de un siglo que filósofos, historiadores, antropólogos y feministas han cuestionado lo que significa el patriarcado. En nuestra época, a pesar de la resistencia al sexismo, el abuso y la discriminación, incluso los esfuerzos revolucionarios por lograr la igualdad a menudo han terminado en fracaso. Pero El patriarcado es un libro profundamente esperanzador, que revela una multiplicidad de arreglos humanos que socavan las viejas narrativas grandiosas y exponen la supremacía.

For centuries, societies have treated male domination as "natural." What if we nevertheless saw gender inequality as something more fragile that has had to be constantly reconstructed and reaffirmed? In this bold and radical book, renowned science journalist Angela Saini explores the roots of what we call "patriarchy," uncovering a complex story of how it was first embedded in societies and spread across the globe, from prehistory to the present. Saini travels to the oldest human settlements, analyzes the latest findings from science and archaeology, and traces cultural and political histories from the Americas to Asia. For more than a century, philosophers, historians, anthropologists and feminists have questioned what patriarchy means. In our time, despite resistance to sexism, abuse, and discrimination, even revolutionary efforts to achieve equality have often ended in failure. But Patriarchy is a profoundly hopeful book, revealing a multiplicity of human arrangements that undermine grandiose old narratives and expose supremacy.
