DESCRIPTION:Come and join Revolution Books in a discussion of "The Origins of Women's 
 Oppression and the Road to Emancipation ".This discussion is  based on 
 Ardea Skybreak's book "Of Primeval Steps & Future Leaps". Spin the globe, 
 and anywhere you look - whether the capitalist west or the Islamic east  -  
 women are robbed of their humanity, subjected to violence, brutalization, 
 and systematic degradation: enforced patriarchy, denial of basic rights 
 like abortion, sexual objectification, sex trafficking and slavery, 
 domestic violence, rape, and this list goes on. This is totally outrageous 
 and intolerable - and it doesn't have to be this way.  Skybreak shows that 
 women have not always been subordinate to men, and how their oppression 
 isn't written in our genes, or coded in "human nature," male aggression, 
 etc. Instead, she digs into the economic and social factors responsible for 
 the earliest forms of social inequalities between the sexes and when they 
 came into play.   How were early, pre-class societies organized - and were 
 they characterized by perfect harmony between the sexes?  What was "mother 
 right" and why was it overthrown?  When and why did patriarchy - and 
 monogamy - emerge? How did all this correspond to changes in the material 
 conditions of those societies?  And what (if anything) can this tell us 
 about why women are still oppressed today - and what it will take to fully 
 liberate women and end this nightmare?\n
