Críticas:

"The volume is a major synthesis of the rapidly developing field of the anthropology of women . . . highly recommended, both as a critically presented state-of-the-art discussion and as an account of how one's personal/political history informs the process of scientific inquiry."-Choice "Leacock holds a position of prominence in the field of gender studies . . . her writings provide a major theoretical framework for linking gender analysis to to the analysis of society."-CSWSR, CUNY

Reseña del editor:

Drawing on extensive historical and cross-cultural research, Leacock shows that claims of male superiority to women are based on carefully contructed myths with no basis in actual historical fact. She also documents numerous historical examples of egalitarian gender relations.
