Description

Book Synopsis
Sylvia Walby provides an overview of recent theoretical debates -- Marxism, radical and liberal feminism, post--structuralism and dual systems theory. She shows how each can be applied to a range of substantive topics from paid work, housework and the state, to culture, sexuality and violence, relying on the most up--to--date empirical findings.

Trade Review
"Walby offers a powerful and stimulating demonstration of the centrality of patriarchy to social structure and historical analysis." Gillian Rose, Queen Mary College, London

"Sylvia Walby has undoubtedly broken the stalemate in theorizing about patriarchy." Mary Maynard, University of York
