El matriarcado

We live under the regime of the patriarchal family: around the figure of the father, empowered by the laws and customs of the family society, the wife and children are grouped. The Bible, the sacred books of the East and most philosophers, historians and politicians have always assumed this structure as an indisputable truth inherent to the human being since its origins. However, in the past, many societies, including ours, were governed by the rules of matriarchy. What has determined this paradigm shift? In these pages Lafargue reveals the mechanisms that the patriarchal power has used to modify the course of history.
