Patriarchy, particularly as embedded in the Old and New Testaments,
and Roman legal precepts, has been a powerful organising concept
with which social order has been understood, maintained, enforced,
contested, adjudicated and dreamt about for over two millennia of
western history. This brief book surveys three influential episodes
in this history: seventeenth-century debates about absolutism and
democracy, nineteenth-century reconstructions of human prehistory,
and the broad mobilisations linked to twentieth-century women's
movements. It then looks at the way feminist scholars have
reconsidered and revised some earlier explanations built around
patriarchy. The book concludes with an overview of current uses of
the concept of patriarchy - from fundamentalist Christian activism,
over foreign policy analyses of oppressive regimes, to scholarly
debates about forms of effective governance. By treating patriarchy
as a powerful tool to think with, rather than a factual description
of social relations, the text makes a useful contribution to
current social and political thought.
