Book Synopsis Gender, Sex, and Subordination in England 1500-1800 by : Anthony Fletcher
Book excerpt: During the early modern period, men and women in England lived their lives within a social and gender framework inherited from biblical times. Patriarchy - the social and cultural dominance of the male - has long been a feature of western civilization, and this work attempts to provide a portrait of the origins and operation of the system over a long stretch of the English past.
