I've come across a book that makes the perplexing and painful things from my childhood AND professional life make sense within the broader context of the history of humanity. And I'd like to shout about it from the mountaintops.

This book is The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule, by Angela Saini, a science journalist and author who teaches at MIT.

Now, don't get this wrong. The book ISN'T about bashing men or making the female gender superior to another (that would just be perpetuating yet another form of oppression).

It IS about going on an eye-opening journey back through time, 10,000 years before modern civilization, to uncover the true roots of gender roles. It's about challenging the deeply ingrained notion that men have always been the dominant sex.

The book debunks the view that patriarchy is just "the way things are." It walks you, point-by-point, through the latest research findings in science and archaeology to show that the systemic favoring of men isn't a natural law, but a constructed one.

This revelation matters because every day, women encounter the effect of gendered expectations, whether it's to handle more housework despite both partners working, or the glass ceilings in STEM fields and corporate leadership.

Join me and Angela Saini as we dive into prehistory and history to challenge our perceptions and inspire change. Don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this.
