Gender, Matriliny, and Entrepreneurship
This book focuses on the economic activities of Khasi women, a matrilineal tribe in North-East India. As an informal group of the market economy, Khasi women are engaged in diverse forms of income-generating activities, ranging from agriculture and commerce to contractual services in the tertiary sector. However, women’s contribution to the economy remains a largely neglected area, both in research as well as in policy, not only in North-East India, but also nationally and internationally. What accounts for this general indifference to the economic role of women is one of the issues addressed in this book. The central issue, however, revolves around the question of why, despite the substan...

The Patriarchs
For fans of Sapiens and The Dawn of Everything, a groundbreaking exploration of gendered oppression—its origins, its histories, our attempts to understand it, and our efforts to combat it For centuries, societies have treated male domination as natural to the human species. But how would our understanding of gender inequality—our imagined past and contested present— look if we didn’t assume that men have always ruled over women? If we saw inequality as something more fragile that has had to be constantly remade and reasserted? In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini explores the roots of what we call patriarchy, uncovering a complex history of how...
