Lady sapiens : breaking stereotypes about prehistoric women

Cirotteau, Thomas2022
Books, Manuscripts
For 150 years researchers offered no archaeological insights into the daily lives of prehistoric women and underestimated their role in society. In fact, these women became imprisoned by clichés. Prehistoric man hunted, went on adventures, invented, created and drew, whereas the role of prehistoric women was limited to educating children and carrying out domestic chores. That's all there was to say about it, or almost. Over the past 15 years a new generation of researchers - many of whom are women - have shaken up this model. By establishing groundbreaking analysis protocols and defining new excavation methods, these scientists are finally able to make the invisible visible. For the first time ever these ancient women are being resurrected before our very eyes, shedding light on a new theory of our origins!
