We Want for Our Sisters What We Want for Ourselves: Polygyny: A Relationship, Marriage and Family Alternative

by Patricia Dixon

We Want for Our Sisters What We Want for Ourselves, reveals that before European world domination, polygyny was practiced in over 80% of the world's cultures. It has also been practiced throughout Western history and is even done so in contemporary American, however in ways that demoralize women and undermine relationships and families. As an alternative to living without men, Dr. Patricia Dixon proposes open and consensual polygyny or coparterning for African American women and describes the experiences of those who are making it work.

This is my second time reading this on my Kindle.

It was a profound read. It's investing going back to the seed of the fruits of all the polygynous thoughts and views I have now.It was shorter than I remember, but it was still a great read!

An interesting and informative peek into one side of the debate about polygyny.

Too much focus on Polgamy through a religious context, not exactly what I hoped for in beginning the book. But still picked up good tidbits
