What allows patriarchy to maintain stability and resist change? In this unique and compelling book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snyder argue that patriarchy still exists because it serves a specific psychological purpose. By demanding that we sacrifice love for hierarchical structure, patriarchy protects us from the vulnerability associated with love and becomes a defense against loss. By exposing the nature of the highly effective psychological mechanisms underlying the patriarchal order, the authors show that politics that seem inexplicable to us are guided by forces we do not consciously recognize. This book, authored by one of the most influential feminist thinkers, will be of great interest to anyone concerned about our chaotic psycho-political times.
