Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider’s new book, Why Does Patriarchy Persist?,  does more than that. It is a spark. It is something like a book-length speech act, both illocutionary and perlocutionary: in speaking, the authors bring their thesis into being, and with it a host of possibilities come alive within us. As we read, we believe intimately that what they say is so. We feel it and see it in our own lives; it cannot but leap up within us.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Public Seminar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Dr. Gilligan’s writing may frustrate because of its swirl of literary, personal and clinical anecdotes.

What is it about patriarchy that seems to make it so resilient and resistant to change? Undoubtedly it endures in part because some people benefit from the unequal advantages it confers. But is that enough to explain its stubborn persistence?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this highly original and persuasively argued book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider put forward a different view: they argue that patriarchy persists because it serves a psychological function. By requiring us to sacrifice love for the sake of hierarchy, patriarchy protects us from the vulnerability of loving and becomes a defense against loss. Uncovering the powerful psychological mechanisms that underpin patriarchy, the authors show how forces beyond our awareness may be driving a politics that otherwise seems inexplicable.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Puzzle 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe First Clue: An Association to Loss 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResistance 32\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLoss 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Three Discoveries 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Summary 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 2 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKnowing This, Then What? 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinding Resonance, Repairing Ruptures 119\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLeaving Patriarchy 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere Then Do We Stand? 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 160\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52453503467800,"sku":"9781509529131","price":10.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509529131.jpg?v=1785285339","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/why-does-patriarchy-persist-paperback-softback-9781509529131","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
