How far have sexual taboos and Christian teaching led to a half-conscious ideas of women as being in some sense evil? How far are women themselves to blame and to what extent do they want change?' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). The author not only considers the influence of such major factors as Christianity, the rise of Capitalism and the birth of Freudian psycho-analysis, but analyses the basic motivation which lies behind these and other manifestations of what could be described as male chauvinism - and female collusion - through the ages. Although this is the basic message of Patriarchal Attitudes, the book goes beyond protest to examine in historical perspective the attitudes which have helped to determine the role of women in society. ![]() ***'The position of women has got to change.
