What Is “Egalitarian Matriarchy” and Why Is It So Often Misunderstood?

These social and cultural systems must have first developed at the beginning of the Neolithic era, when “woman the gatherer” first discovered the secrets of agriculture that allowed people to settle down and farm the land.

Time for a #currentlyreading post! I got this book for free from my new job (perks of working in a book store) and I have about ~40 pages left to go. IT'S SOOO GOOD!! I love how this book openly challenges everything that's wrong with the patriarchal system. Parts of it are a little cliche, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's feminist or anyone who's open minded and wants to really understand what feminism is all about and how to view the world like a feminist. It's definitely a great book just to kind of see what it's all about. So read it. #amazon #barbaragwalker #feminism #thirdwavefeminist #scythia #scythians #amazonwoman #matriarchy #matrilocal #feminist #booklr #bookstagram #books
