A superb and scholarly contribution to women's history.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women in Ancient America (Hardcover)
Women in Ancient America represents the first comprehensive coverage of women in precolumbian American cultures, describing their roles and relationships and utilizing key archaeological works to revamp traditional historical perspectives about the times. From the origins of agriculture to the development of social and religious systems, this provides many important, unique insights.

Fill those historical blanks!,

This review is from: Women in Ancient America (Hardcover)
Don't be alarmed by the title. This is not a hysterical, feminist book. Bruhns and Stothert simply fill in the blanks in history by revealing why these omissions were made in the first place and why engendering history is important. The theoretical aspects of the book are accompanied by many (although more would be better) illustrations and detailed analysis of artifacts. The book has a great bibliography section which makes it a great resource for additional research in the field. Besides being valuable as a college textbook, it would be a great book to read if you wish to update your knowledge about gender roles in the Americas. |
