Critics Review

EARLY PRAISE FOR OTHER:
‘Bold and provocative, deeply researched and forcefully argued, Other shows how the systems that we wield in the name of equality can so easily become tools of oppression. It’s a vitally important and timely addition to Angela Saini’s crucial body of work’ Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of An Immense World
PRAISE FOR THE PATRIARCHS:
‘This is an impressive, breathtaking and thought-provoking book which unwraps the concept and history of patriarchy with clear intellectual precision’ Financial Times
‘An urgent and necessary wake-up call of a book, teeming with research without being taut … The Patriarchs is a hopeful, essential read, not just for feminists, but for anyone with a stake in existence’ Irish Times
‘I learned something new on every page of this totally essential book. And for such a serious topic, I was surprised to be greatly entertained too. Angela is the best possible guide’ Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland
‘The Patriarchs is an optimistic book … it shows that more equal societies are possible and do thrive – historically, now and everywhere’ Guardian
‘A rigorous and illuminating read’ inews
‘A deep and incisive look at the historical origins of patriarchal structures we are still fighting today. A must-read for every feminist’ Rafia Zakaria, author of Against White Feminism
‘This is a truly excellent, important and insightful book’ Janina Ramirez, author of Femina
‘Bold, incisive, and beautifully told, The Patriarchs is a truly riveting investigation into the origins and consequences of structural power. The depth and originality of Angela Saini’s thought and research is breath-taking, and world-changing. A phenomenally important and deeply enjoyable book’ Elinor Cleghorn, author of Unwell Women
‘Saini brings sparkling intelligence to this debate. She is brilliant at ferreting out intriguing nuggets of information and synthesising them into a big but not over-simplified picture’ Observer
