Encompassing the Church, witch hunts, sexual theory, Nazism and pro-life campaigners, we arrive at today's developing world, where women are increasingly and disproportionately at risk because of radicalised religious belief, famine, war and disease. Well-informed and researched, highly readable and thought-provoking, this is no outmoded feminist polemic: it's a refreshingly straightforward investigation into an ancient, pervasive and enduring injustice. It deals with the fundamentals of human existence -- sex, love, violence -- that have shaped the lives of humans throughout history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe answer? It's time to recognize that the treatment of women amounts to nothing less than an abuse of human rights on an unthinkable scale. A Brief History of Misogyny is an important and timely book that will make a long-lasting contribution to the efforts to improve those rights throughout the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32060909748294,"sku":"1160","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/products\/ABriefHistoryofMisogyny_TheWorld_sOldestPrejudice_JackHolland.jpg?v=1597666675","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.live\/products\/a-brief-history-of-misogyny-the-worlds-oldest-prejudice-jack-holland","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
