Gasquoine (Catherine Gasquoine) 1867 1928 Hartley, Catherine Gasquoine Gallichan, Walter M., Mrs. The Position of Woman in Primitive Society: A Study of the Matriarchy Produced by Steven Gibbs, Irma Spehar and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Position of Woman in Primitive Society: A Study of the Matriarchy" by C. Gasquoine Hartley is an analytical work written in the early 20th century. This text delves into the historical roles and status of women in primitive societies, specifically focusing on the concept of matriarchy and the significance of maternal authority in early family structures. The author seeks to challenge patriarchal narratives by exploring the systems that may have allowed women to hold more power and influence in the family and society. At the start of the book, Hartley discusses the transformative "Woman's Movement" of the early 20th century and its implications for modern society. She contemplates the historical context of women's roles, suggesting a time when matriarchy was more prevalent and influential, giving rise to structures based on maternal rights. By invoking historical theories and reflections on early human societies, she intends to unravel misconceptions about women's subordination throughout history, arguing for a reevaluation of their roles in primitive communities and the inheritance systems that have evolved.
