In this compelling, powerful book, highly respected writer and
commentator Jack Holland sets out to answer a daunting question:
how do you explain the oppression and brutalization of half the
world's population by the other half, throughout history? The
result takes the reader on an eye-opening journey through
centuries, continents and civilizations as it looks at both
historical and contemporary attitudes to women. Encompassing the
Church, witch hunts, sexual theory, Nazism and pro-life
campaigners, we arrive at today's developing world, where women are
increasingly and disproportionately at risk because of radicalised
religious belief, famine, war and disease. Well-informed and
researched, highly readable and thought-provoking, this is no
outmoded feminist polemic: it's a refreshingly straightforward
investigation into an ancient, pervasive and enduring injustice. It
deals with the fundamentals of human existence -- sex, love,
violence -- that have shaped the lives of humans throughout
history. The answer? It's time to recognize that the treatment of
women amounts to nothing less than an abuse of human rights on an
unthinkable scale. A Brief History of Misogyny is an important and
timely book that will make a long-lasting contribution to the
efforts to improve those rights throughout the world.
