About this book

In an era marked by rapid industrialization and shifting gender roles, "The Man-Made World; Or, Our Androcentric Culture" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman offers a profound sociological critique of the male-dominated structures that define society. Gilman meticulously explores how the pervasive ideology of patriarchy influences not only social norms but also the very fabric of human understanding. By dissecting concepts such as gendered labor and the implications of an androcentric worldview, she challenges readers to reconsider the foundations of their beliefs. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this seminal work invites critical reflection on the societal constructs that shape our lives. Discover the insights that remain relevant in today's discourse on gender equality and cultural identity.
