Across the world, patriarchy has oppressed women and denied their contributions, but every nation has its own unique gendered hierarchy. Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs applies her signature approachable yet rigorous analysis to define American patriarchy in this definitive and groundbreaking history.

The media is all over her, yet soon someone wants her killed because her existence contradicts their secular worldview and bitter postwar politics.
