I like Karen Sacks' anthropological work on this. She found that as African societies shifted from a hunting and gathering to an agrarian mode of production, the social position of women dramatically declined.
She concludes that it is the male control of economic production in agrarian societies that is the cornerstone of male supremacy. She suggests that women's economic independence from men--a characteristic of most hunting and gathering societies, myths about "male hunter-providers" aside!--is the key to undermining male supremacy. According to this line of reasoning, the paths to the elimination of racism and sexism are surprisingly similar.
