‘Patriarchy is always being updated – being made more modern, being made more hip. That’s how it survives.’

Listen to this epic episode of Mansplaining Feminism with professor, researcher and author, Cynthia Enloe.

Cynthia Enloe’s most recent book is The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging the Persistence of Patriarchy, published by Myriad. The essays within The Big Push explore the resilience of patriarchal beliefs and values, and identify the unwitting nature of our complicity. She shows how, simply by noticing, questioning and crafting fresh feminist concepts, we can update our resistance and challenge patriarchy’s self-perpetuating core.
