The Invention of Women

Explore the origins of gender constructs in Western and Yoruban society in this illuminating work. Rejecting the notion of a universal "woman question," the author argues that the concept of gender is a Western invention rooted in biology. By contrasting Western concepts of gender with the Yoruban culture, the book challenges long-held assumptions about the nature of gender constructs. Delve into a rigorous analysis of the history and epistemology of an African society and its approach to social organization. This thought-provoking work will reframe your understanding of gender discourse and cultural study.
