GENDER IN LITERATURE
matriarchy = power of a woman
women were in power, they had the gift to bring children to the community
there was no doubt for the woman, whose child it is as any woman knows for sure: this is my child
for a very long time, humans didn’t understand why the woman had this privilege (belly and bearing children)
they didn’t understand why women had periods (in some cultures it was meant disease)
humans used to live in groups and not in families
they had sex with more partners so for a long time the man didn’t know who the father was
they didn’t understand the connection between sexuality and pregnancy
they learnt this with starting taming animals
at the same time, the humans learnt farming (they had animals, crops, their lives improved)
