Beschreibung

"Patriarchy does not respect national boundaries. It is unabashedly promiscuous in its influences and tethers. Yet, it does use nationalism very productively."

An empty street at night. A crowded bus. A lecture hall. All sites of female fear, instilled in women and those who have been constructed female, from an early age.

Drawing on examples from around the world - from Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa to Saudi Arabia, the Americas and Europe, Gqola traces the construction and machinations of the female fear factory by exposing its lies, myths, and seductions. She shows how seemingly disparate effects, like driving bans, street harassment, and coercive professors, are the product of the ever-turning machinery of the female fear factory, and its use of fear as a tool of patriarchal subjugation and punishment.

Female Fear Factory: Unravelling Patriarchy's Cultures of Violence is a sobering account of patriarchal violence in the world, and a hopeful vision for the work of unapologetic feminist imaginative strategies across the globe.

    Egyptian Science – Innovations and Discoveries of the Ancient World (3 in 1) offers a captivating dive into the scientific brilliance of ancient Egypt, revealing how a civilization often known for its mysticism was also a beacon of practical knowledge and invention. This collection highlights the remarkable advancements made by Egyptian scholars, physicians, engineers, and astronomers—centuries before many of these concepts reached the rest of the world. 
    The first section explores medicine and anatomy, showcasing how ancient Egyptian doctors performed surgeries, treated wounds, and understood diseases with a surprisingly systematic approach. Medical texts, herbal remedies, and anatomical observations formed the foundation of a health system deeply intertwined with both empirical knowledge and spiritual beliefs. 
    In the second section, readers uncover the mathematical and engineering feats that made the construction of monumental structures like pyramids and temples possible. Discover how Egyptians used geometry, surveying tools, and complex planning techniques to design precise buildings and manage the Nile’s life-giving floods. Their grasp of weights, measurements, and balance was essential to everything from agriculture to architecture. 
    The final section reveals the Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy and timekeeping. They charted celestial movements, created solar calendars, and aligned structures with astronomical events. Whether for agricultural cycles, religious ceremonies, or royal rituals, their scientific innovations were closely tied to their spiritual worldview. This volume shows how ancient Egypt’s legacy is not only in stone but also in knowledge that shaped civilizations to come.
