Rezensionen

"Constitutional law Professor Ilenia Ruggiu has written a stunning book. The Roots of Patriarchy: A Legal and Genealogical Approach describes the origin and metamorphosis of patriarchy in the West. Over a nine year period, the author has traveled worldwide to interview scholars, thereby covering the waterfront from Italy to Asia. State patriarchy has deep roots that are now being challenged in the contemporary world.

A must read."

Laura Nader, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley

"This book provides analytical and historical insight into a key concept in feminist thought and claims its importance for the law; it is a must-read for jurists that take seriously the "woman question.""

Yuki Asano, Professor of Philosophy of Law, Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan
