Woman's Evolution from Matriarchal Clan to Patriarchal Family

Review

"[An] absorbing anthropological dig...." -- Minneapolis Tribune"Helped me understand anthropology from a woman's point of view." -- Ms. Magazine"Deftly takes on some of the most quoted experts in cultural anthropology and sociology and shatters their premises about women.... There is a real need for this book; its use would be most advantageous in elective courses related to the nature and rise of civilizations.... The volume is not only recommended, it cannot be ignored." -- --Curriculum Advisory Services
"How important it is to women today that the myth of eternal and preordained patriarchy be exploded. And at last we have a good solid real woman anthropologist to do it." -- --Kate Millet, author, Sexual Politics
"This is a fascinating and scholarly book; useful in sociology and anthropology courses and to any woman needing encouragement about the contributions of her sex to history." -- --American Association for the Advancement of Science
