Patriarchy: The Invisible Chain

‘Patriarchy: The Invisible Chain’ is an insightful and interdisciplinary edited volume that critically examines the structures, practices, and lived realities of patriarchy in contemporary society. The edited volume comprises seventeen well-researched chapters, systematically organised into five thematic sections, each addressing a distinct dimension of patriarchal power and resistance. Together, these sections offer a comprehensive understanding of patriarchy as a historically rooted yet constantly evolving system. The chapters explore patriarchy through social, cultural, literary, political, and economic lenses, highlighting how gendered power relations are constructed, normalised, and contested. The volume engages with issues such as gender inequality, identity formation, masculinity and femininity, intersectionality, representation, and transformative resistance. By situating theoretical debates alongside empirical and textual analyses, the book bridges the gap between abstract concepts and everyday experiences. Contributions from scholars across diverse disciplines enrich the volume with multiple perspectives, making it both rigorous and accessible. The thematic organisation allows readers to navigate complex ideas with clarity while encouraging comparative and critical reflection across contexts. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, educators, and policymakers in gender studies, sociology, literature, cultural studies, and related fields. The book aims to foster critical consciousness and promote informed dialogue on gender justice and social transformation.…
