Roles Balance Society by Nakoa Rainfall

"Roles Balance Society" explores the historical function of gender roles in maintaining social order and cohesion.
It challenges the conventional view of these roles as purely oppressive, arguing that they have historically contributed to societal stability by fostering interdependence and shared values.
Intriguingly, the book highlights how the division of labor along gender lines, while often unequal, has served to integrate individuals into a broader social system, promoting a sense of belonging.

The book takes a historical sociology approach, drawing on case studies from diverse cultures and time periods to examine how gendered roles have evolved and adapted.
It begins by establishing a theoretical framework rooted in classical sociological theories and then moves to analyze specific examples, such as the impact of industrialization on traditional roles.
By reframing our understanding of gender roles, this book offers valuable insights into current debates surrounding gender equality and social harmony, revealing how societies have historically used gender to organize themselves.
