‘The Creation of Patriarchy’ is a book written by Gerda Lerner in 1986 that explores the origin of misogyny primarily in Mesopotamia, and then its spread in Western societies. She provides an explanation of the development of patriarchal ideas and systems that discriminate against women (Lerner, 1986). It is a book that entails a study beginning from the primitive age, or the Stone Age when societies did not exist as they are today, but humans were beginning to divide functions on the basis of biological characteristics (Lerner, 1986). As a result, women who were physically delicate had to rear children and look after the family, and men, who were physically strong, were entrusted with the work of going out, catching prey, and gathering food for the family at home.
