The book presents information in three parts, beginning with the historical roots of patriarchal families and their cultural underpinnings. Next, it analyzes the key drivers of change, such as women's empowerment and legal reforms promoting gender equality. Finally, it explores the practical implications of these changes, focusing on shifting power dynamics and their influence on family well-being.
Using empirical research, including studies on household decision-making and interviews with diverse families, Patriarch Power Wanes provides a nuanced understanding of the current landscape of family relationships.
