“…introduces the basic concepts of women’s studies, of understanding the world through a gender lens…”
It is a gem of a book, which offers a good, solid, incisive introduction to the shifting demands of the ruling class from the female half of the population in time and space. While it takes up the social and economic function of motherhood, it has an integral view of the other services demanded of women in the family and outside, namely the sexual and domestic functions, apart from the useful romantic and affective aura they are supposed to provide.
