I'd be quite interested in what existing power these women had in order to force whatever concessions they achieved. I am betting on it being a quite different scenario, but relying on certain conditions that these women today do not have.
I'm convinced that a major aspect of the property relationship under capital here is that it almost entirely traps women with no means of helping themselves. Getting them more means will drastically alter their ability to pursue their own movements.
Yeah, I'm thinking of societies that became matriarchal through some means long long before any sort of European-centric (probably not the right way to but it, but my words are failing me here, apologies) resemblance to economic systems came about. I'm thinking of areas like Mexico, Central America, and South America maybe about 1500 years ago.
Anyways, it's a really good book, and I'd absolutely recommend it! It's just....a LOT. Hard to really remember specific things from it off the top of my head, especially when I'm sleep deprived, but it is well cited if you download an ebook version.
Feels like I'm rambling now
