Books like Love, Sexuality, and Matriarchy by Erich Fromm


Erich Fromm, a leading psychoanalyst, examines the deep‑rooted conflict he describes as a continual ‘war’ between sexes, tracing its origins to early human history. In *Love, Sexuality, and Matriarchy*, he compiles his pivotal essays—some of which were previously unpublished in English—to illuminate how patriarchal structures have dominated society. By foregrounding the psychological effects of male domination and the consequent marginalization of women, Fromm offers a framework that has informed much of today’s gender theory.
