Cynthia Eller explores the intellectual history of the myth, which arose from male scholars who mostly wanted to vindicate the patriarchal family model as a higher stage of human development. Eller tells the stories these men told, analyzes the gendered assumptions they made, and provides the necessary context for understanding how feminists of the 1970s and 1980s embraced as historical "fact" a discredited nineteenth-century idea.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 363gAuthor: Cynthia EllerGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Language & Reference, Gender Sex & RelationshipsRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
