Description

Discover 'Lineages of the Feminine', a groundbreaking exploration of the evolution of gender dynamics in contemporary society. As we witness an anthropological revolution characterized by the #MeToo movement and heightened awareness of femicide, this thought-provoking work by anthropologist Emmanuel Todd delves into the complex relationship between men and women amidst rising tensions of modern emancipation. With a deep analysis of historical and social contexts, Todd examines how, while significant strides have been made, the path to gender equality has birthed new challenges and contradictions. Women today are not only claiming their rights but also encountering traditional male social pathologies, leading to unique burdens that shape their experiences. This essential read combines thorough empirical research with historical insights, elucidating the distinctions and convergences in gender experiences including education, employment, and social issues such as longevity and electoral behavior. 'Lineages of the Feminine' presents a nuanced perspective that will resonate with scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the evolution of feminism and social change. A vital addition to contemporary feminist literature, this book is a must-read for those looking to deepen their understanding of the complexities surrounding women's liberation and the ongoing quest for equality in our society.
