Architecture women of agriculture

Ahmet Uhri, who stated that agricultural life is diversified by the ability of women to observe, stated that women who started agriculture and tame nature. But with the development of agriculture, Uhri stated that “plus product” has started to emerge and that there is a change in power relations. “With agriculture, farming has developed, the villages and the population have increased rapidly. The emergence of surplus value led to the development of business division and trade, and a clearing economy emerged. This led to institutionalization of power and bureaucracy to create social structure based on property, and to control it. But there is a contradiction here. After a while, the woman who prevails in nature loses its place in the central authority, especially in the patriarchal system of the East. ”
