The Pocket Guide to the Patriarchy

This book provides shocking statistics and empowering knowledge to combat the patriarchal world. The home remains the most dangerous place for women, with partners or relatives being the primary perpetrators of homicide and abuse. In some countries, women who seek abortions after rape face jail time. Less than 20% of landholders globally are women. Despite these truths, many blame women for their circumstances. Author Maya Oppenheim’s book offers unforgettable realities, real-world anecdotes, and tales of resistance to combat denial and injustice as the far-right gains momentum and women’s rights face attack. 

Combining poignant stories with startling evidence, the book examines the rigged systems against women and offers a path to sustainable reform and a better world. It’s essential reading for anyone who wants to be a better ally to women, especially men.
