Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Our Androcentric Culture"" is a book written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman that explores the ways in which our society is centered around men and male perspectives. Gilman argues that this androcentric culture has led to the oppression and marginalization of women and other marginalized groups. The book examines various aspects of our culture, including language, education, religion, and politics, and how they perpetuate and reinforce this gender bias. Gilman also offers suggestions for how we can work towards a more egalitarian society that values and includes all individuals, regardless of gender. Overall, ""Our Androcentric Culture"" is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of the ways in which our society has been shaped by patriarchal norms and values.In the many books about women it is, naturally, their femaleness that has been studied and enlarged upon. And though women, after thousands of years of such discussion, have become a little restive under the constant use of the word female: men, as rational beings, should not object to an analogous study--at least not for some time--a few centuries or so.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
