description: What is patriarchy? Has it always existed? How can we recognize it? Does it subordinate all women, in the same way, everywhere? Is it a system of discrimination that has been institutionalized? Are all institutions patriarchal? Do all men benefit equally from it? In addition to initiating a discussion on the above topic through a question-and-answer format, this booklet attempts to locate women's struggles for social change, in a context where the patriarchal control of major social and political institutions makes for specific forms of discrimination against women, with a special focus on South Asia.
