Myths of Male Dominance by Eleanor Burke Leacock

This classic anthropological study debunks the many myths behind the idea of natural male superiority. Drawing on extensive historical and cross-cultural research, Eleanor Burke Leacock shows that claims of male superiority are based on carefully constructed myths with no factual historical basis. She also documents numerous historical examples of egalitarian gender relations.
