Feminist Critiques and the Modification and Persistence of Popular Androcentric Images of Early Hominin Biosocial Evolution
A feminist critical gaze in analyses of images in popular media found that a patriarchal gaze in androcentric visual reconstructions of early biosocial hominin evolution persists despite some recent modifications in response to feminist critiques. Academic patriarchal reconstructions of hominin evolution and feminist critiques and research disproving them must first be outlined in order to be able to conduct feminist critical analyses of images i…

Second‐Wave Feminism
Second‐stage feminism is interpreted to mean second‐wave structural feminist theories, including Betty Friedan's book entitled The Second Stage . Second‐wave feminist theories analyze the social structures of patriarchy that enforce women's subordination and male domination. These theories supported the creation of new laws that have increased gender equality. Some structural feminist theories also argue for separatist women's workplaces and cult…
Sex
The word sex has multiple different meanings and theorizations that are discussed in this entry, from biological sex to sexual instinct, sex acts, sexuality, and psychological and social sex differences. Gender roles were considered biological “sex roles” until the feminist movement distinguished biological sex from social gender roles. However, sex and gender are interrelated. Biological sexes are socially and culturally constructed not only ide…
Household Production
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, most goods for exchange, as well as for immediate use, were produced in households by a family economy that included servants or slaves in wealthy households. Households in a community also cooperated in some production and exchange, called “neighboring.” Starting in the late eighteenth century, religious utopians and utopian communitarian socialists theorized that gender equality was created through community …
F irestone, S hulamith
Shulamith Firestone is a renowned early leader of the radical feminist movement. She developed a feminist historical materialism that theorized women's and men's distinct biological roles in reproduction, which led to the division of labor into sex classes, a division that drove the development of patriarchal sex stratification and its legitimating sexist ideology, followed by the development of social stratification, inequalities, and struggles …

Next, it is argued that cu…

Commentary: How Feminist Theories Increase Our Understanding of Processes of Gender Transformation
Historical and archaeological perspectives on gender transformations: From private to public
In many facets of Western culture, including archaeology, there remains a legacy of perceiving gender divisions as natural, innate, and biological in origin. This belief follows that men are naturally pre-disposed to public, intellectual pursuits, while women are innately designed to care for the home and take care of children. In the interpretation of material culture, accepted notions of gender roles are often applied to new findings: the dicho…
Writing on the face of the moon: Women’s products, archetypes, and power in ancient Maya civilization
This chapter discusses how contributors to this volume use a variety of feminist theoretical approaches to challenge androcentric conceptions of power and constructions of past cultures in the shape of modern Western stereotypes about gender identities and relationships. These stereotypes are derived from the binary opposition in the dominant Victorian gender ideology, which identified men as public, active, powerful, and dominant over women, who…
