Award-winning science journalist and author, Angela Saini joins Shana on this episode to discuss The Patriarchs, a book which asks the bold and important question: how did men come to rule? Shana asks Angela if we live in a patriarchal world because it is our biological destiny, if religion has created gender stereotypes that persist to this day and if there ever was a golden age when women were in charge. Angela and Shana also talk about desi mothers-in-law and how they have come to be part of the patriarchy. Angela’s book delves into what is the root cause of patriarchy and what she finds is so eye-opening that you will see both history and the present differently.
