About the book

In «The Position of Woman in Primitive Society: A Study of the Matriarchy,» C. Gasquoine Hartley embarks on a pioneering exploration of women's roles in early societies, meticulously analyzing social structures that celebrated matriarchy over patriarchy. Hartley employs an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together anthropological insights, historical data, and cultural studies to illustrate the diverse ways in which women wielded power and influence in primitive cultures. Her literary style is both accessible and scholarly, reflecting a deep respect for the subjects of her inquiry while engaging with contemporary feminist discourse. The book situates itself within the broader context of early 20th-century feminism and emerging anthropological thought, challenging entrenched patriarchal narratives that have long dominated the understanding of gender relations. C. Gasquoine Hartley was a notable figure in the early feminist movement and a keen observer of social dynamics. Her extensive travels and interactions with various cultures provided her with firsthand accounts and a wealth of ethnographic material. Her unique perspective as a woman writer in a male-dominated field informs her work, allowing her to critique conventional perspectives on gender and illuminate the often-overlooked contributions of women in shaping societal norms. This groundbreaking study is essential for anyone interested in gender studies, anthropology, or feminist theory. Hartley's arguments not only elucidate the historical significance of matriarchy but also challenge readers to rethink the implications of gender roles in contemporary society. This compelling read will provoke thought and inspire further research in the fields of sociology and anthropology.
