The work of the Swiss theorist of atriarchy, Johann Jakob Bachofen (1815-1887), has been highly influential. This book shows how the interpretation of his legacy became a battleground for conflicts about modernity, myth, race and nation, sex and gender, and ultimately the struggle between National Socialism and its opponents.
