In the fall of 2016

Those promoting patriarchal ideals saw their champion Donald Trump elected president of the United States and showed us how powerful patriarchy still is in American society and culture.

Darkness Now Visible: Patriarchy's Resurgence and Feminist Resistance

Explains how patriarchy and its embrace of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and violence are starkly visible and must be recognized and resisted.

Thesis by Carol Gilligan and David A. J. Richards
