REVIEW

It was a fascinating read and I enjoyed reading the individual stories of how some places were more gender-balanced and how some had matriarchs instead of patriarchs.

It is interesting to find out that the place where the ‘West’ bases most of its values as the creator of democracy and art etc were the weirdos who treated their women worse than most of their neighbours but have been treated as the norm everywhere, laying down the law of ‘it’s always been this way so it must be the norm/natural’ when that isn’t the case at all.
