Free Download Cynthia Eller, "Gentlemen and Amazons: the myth of matriarchal prehistory, 1861-1900"
English | 2011 | pages: 292 | ISBN: 0520266765, 0520248597 | EPUB | 3,2 mb
Gentlemen and Amazons traces the nineteenth-century genesis and development of an important contemporary myth about human origins: that of an original prehistoric matriarchy. Cynthia Eller explores the intellectual history of the myth, which arose from male scholars who mostly wanted to vindicate the patriarchal family model as a higher stage of human development. Eller tells the stories these men told, analyzes the gendered assumptions they made, and provides the necessary context for understanding how feminists of the 1970s and 1980s embraced as historical "fact" a discredited nineteenth-century idea.

Free Download Martin Empson, "’kill All The Gentlemen’: Class struggle and change in the English countryside"
English | 2018 | pages: 314 | ISBN: 191088569X | EPUB | 1,0 mb
The modern countryside is the result of centuries of environmental change, but also brutal class struggle. While Wat Tyler’s Peasants’ Revolt is well known, and Jack Cade and Robert Kett are remembered for their rebellions, there are countless lesser known struggles. Modern agriculture, the food we eat and how it is produced, is a direct result of these historic struggles. Martin Empson’s new book rescues these forgotten moments of history and places them in the context of the political and economic changes that have taken place over the last 700 years.
