Max Dashu via Janie Rezner In early December 2013 I received a call from Swaraj, a Karnataka wide network of women’s groups, fighting against violence and all forms of discrimination against women, to invite me for a function to felicitate six rural women who have challenged the oppression of widows in their families and villages. They asked me to speak on Patriarchy as a Superstition. WOW. What a great idea!! Once again I marveled at the wisdom of working class rural women. I wondered why in spite of such wisdom of rural working class women, so many media people think feminism is an urban phenomenon. isiswomen.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1656%3Apatriarchy-is-an-institution-to-be-outlawed&catid=22%3Amovements-within&Itemid=229
