Power relations among humans have likely been a topic of interest since long before any historical claims to its nature were proffered. This book recognizes that power and gender may be rooted in the experience of power in western society.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...this is an important, indeed a path-breaking, volume. It raises many compelling anthropological issues that rightly complicate our understanding of gender and power in the past and the near-present. The volume's affordable price and presentation of contrasting ideas recommend it for use in graduate courses. It will also be instructive to sociocultural anthropologists wishing to learn about power-gender dynamics that operate in ways not practiced in the modern world. But this volume should certainly be read by all archaeologists interested in the traditionally separate questions of power and gender..
–Transforming Anthropology, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2001, Marcia-Anne Dobres
