The world is shaken by another of the great crises of capitalism, it makes the final sweep of postmodern illusions. Thus we say goodbye to the supposed end of history that predicted a firm and perennial destiny for bourgeois democracy. The latter was varnished by political correctness and narcissistic ideals. Behind these assumptions, the full force of capitalism and male domination sailed freely. This pairing, in light of recent events, is leaking but as a system it has not lost its ability to reproduce and recycle itself. So capitalism and patriarchy make up a pair that must be questioned as a whole, we are learning that they cannot be thought of separately and that it is necessary to reveal their relationships and their ability to reproduce.

This book comes to shore up the critical mass of knowledge that, from different perspectives, promotes drilling into patriarchy as the foundation of culture. Everywhere you look at it, patriarchy established and promoted a conceptual dogmatism in the social sciences that reaffirmed, in various historical periods, the reasons for the domination of women by men. This domination not only established the set of family relationships and the consequent subjectivity of the time, but also collaborated in sustaining every system of power we have known in history. Psychoanalysis, anthropology and history are crammed with proposals that only support patriarchy theoretically. In these pages you can find an update of concepts-tools for the task of unmasking patriarchy.
