Question
eleanor leacock argued that womens subordination to men could be connected explicitly to
o genetics.
the rise of private property and the emergence of the state.
o ecological factors connected with the development of domestication and sedentism
a form of binary cultural thinking that opposed male to female.
Eleanor Leacock, an anthropologist, in her work critiqued and expanded on Engels' theories. She emphasized that the subordination of women was a result of social - economic changes. Genetics (biological determinism) was not her focus. Ecological factors related to domestication and sedentism are more in line with some ecological - anthropological theories but not Leacock's main argument. Binary cultural thinking (like Lévi - Strauss' structuralism) is also not her key point. She argued that the rise of private property (which led to class divisions) and the emergence of the state (a more complex social - political organization) were the main causes of women's subordination.
