In the #MeToo era, US women continue to struggle with whether or
not to report sexual harassment, while women living in parts of
rural Pakistan and Mexico try to pursue educational and employment
opportunities without directly refusing parental wishes for them to
marry. Despite rapidly changing social and economic conditions
worldwide, patriarchal practices remain remarkably widespread and
persistent. Noting the need to move beyond a dichotomy of
accommodation and resistance, the Contributors to this volume draw
upon field research and in-depth qualitative data from different
parts of the world to explore the reasons for women's varied
psychological responses to patriarchy. These feminist scholars
bridge preexisting divides between bio-psychological, sociological,
and cultural perspectives to explain the ways that women's desires,
goals, and identities interact with culturally situated systems in
order to develop more complex theories about the psychological
underpinnings of patriarchy and to inform more socially progressive
policies to improve the lives of women and men globally.
