The authors traverse the arguments put forward by great thinkers throughout the centuries to justify the patriarchal system, from classical philosophy to the present day. More than a mere catalog of prejudices, the book examines how these ideas have legitimized violence and exclusion, limiting the development of half of humanity. This second edition, revised and expanded, updates the analysis to understand the contemporary manifestations of the phenomenon, offering the reader a key tool for identifying and combating the roots of misogynistic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work unravels the vast and persistent set of arguments that have maintained the supposed moral, intellectual, and biological inferiority of women. Through a chronological journey, the authors identify and analyze the contributions of key figures in Western thought who, with their writings and theories, consolidated female exclusion to the private sphere. The book not only exposes these discourses but reveals their practical consequences: the condemnation of millions of women to violence, suffering, and the frustration of their aspirations. In doing so, it demonstrates that misogyny is not a relic of the past, but a belief system that adapts and survives, and that a deep understanding of it is essential to curb its advance in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical analysis of misogyny as a pillar of patriarchy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical review of the discourses of great thinkers regarding female inferiority.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of women as beings destined for the private and domestic sphere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial and personal consequences of misogyny: violence, exclusion, and frustration of desires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe persistence and evolution of misogynistic thought in contemporary society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the history of ideas, gender studies, and social psychology.
