Patriarchy in peril : William Byrd II and slavery in early Virginia / by Todd, Dennis,1944-author.(CARDINAL)899656;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [169]-185) and index.Here at the end of the world -- Carrying the machine forward : William Byrd and his slaves -- Our fellow creatures : William Byrd and slavery -- In the bear latitudes."William Byrd II was a prominent eighteenth-century Virginian who at the time of his death owned over 180,000 acres of land and employed laborers and enslaved Africans. This book examines a neglected stage in the formation of slavery in Virginia by analyzing the practices and beliefs of one of the more prominent slave owners of the period. Byrd was perhaps the early colonial definition of a patriarch, and author Dennis Todd here grounds the concept of patriarchalism in a series of concrete practices and expectations. Doing so, Todd argues that patriarchal principles, which are often assumed to have justified slavery and to have offered a template for slave management, in fact did neither"--

Smash the patriarchy : a graphic novel / by Breen, Marta,1976-author.(CARDINAL)801596; Jordahl, Jenny,1989-illustrator.(CARDINAL)884865; Mackie, Siân,translator.(CARDINAL)824112;
Includes bibliographical references."The patriarchy is falling. It's time to smash it. This graphic novel shows you how. Patriarchy means "the rule of the father" and describes a system where men are in control. At least since the time of Aristotle, loud-mouthed men have called women weak and inferior. In entertaining comic book form, Smash the Patriarchy shames the culprits and salutes more than 100 inspiring women-from Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Mary Wollstonecraft to Petra Herrera-who stood up to them. The book is not afraid to examine some of the worst crimes-public shaming, medical examinations, and the widespread murder and jailing of feminists around the world-as it calls on readers to finally smash the patriarchy forever. These men get embarrassed: Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Woody Allen and many more...These women are celebrated: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Emily Dickinson, Queen Christina of Sweden, Arundhati Roy, Amanda Gorman, and many more..." - provided by publisherHL740L
