Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of the family unit, challenging conventional views on the origins and development of social structures. The author delves into the history of primitive societies, highlighting the significance of the matriarchal system, where kinship was traced through the mother rather than the father. This groundbreaking concept was largely forgotten as patriarchal rule emerged, but the author demonstrates its historical prevalence and lasting impact on modern societies. The book explores the social and legal implications of this shift, examining the rise of the patriarchal system and its consequences, specifically the practice of "woman purchase," which had a profound influence on the perception and treatment of women throughout history. By examining ancient customs, legal codes, and cultural practices across various civilizations, the author reveals the complex interplay of power, tradition, and evolving societal norms. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the deep-rooted origins of gender inequality, offering a fresh perspective on the historical and cultural forces that have shaped the family structure and its enduring impact on human relationships. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
