Drawing upon fifteen years of collaboration with a team of researchers and prominent historians, the volume opens with fascinating chapters comparing medieval Europe and Japan, disparate cultures which nevertheless shared traditions of male dominated aggression and competitiveness.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e French then shows how, in Europe, this tradition led to colonialism and imperialism, and the horrific subjugation of indigenous societies, just as women were subjugated in the conquerors’ home countries. As French makes clear in this impassioned women’s history, only with the French Revolution did the political force women exerted powerfully change the course of history.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “French gives us grand theory at its best, wading through copious amounts of scholarly data on the histories of civilizations and offering up, in readable prose, an important synthesis.” —\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Feminist Press at CUNY, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137871790320,"sku":"9781558616219","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781558616219_p0.jpg?v=1769899066","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781558616219","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
