Description
In 1975, Evelyn Reed did what Kate Millet said couldn't be done. She traced the origins of patriarchy to its origins. Her argument was that it was the introduction of capitalism that brought the original, more equal, matrilineal societies to their demise. These societies were defined by the power of women within them, the equality that existed between the sexes and the rules which were in place to keep all of it together. We also talk to Dr. Igor Cherstich from UCL about the traditions within anthropology in looking at origins of patriarchy.
