Description:Women in Ancient America draws on recent advances in the archeology of gender to reexamine the activities, roles & relationships of women in the prehistoric Native societies of North, Central & S. America. Women—& women’s work—have been crucial to the survival & success of American peoples since ancient times. As hunting & foraging societies developed farming techniques & eventually created permanent settlements, women’s roles changed. Bruhns & Stothert consider the various economic adaptations that followed, as well as the ways in which women participated in food production & the specialized industries of their societies. They also look at women’s access to power, both political & religious, paying particular attention to the place of priestesses & goddesses in the spiritual life of ancient peoples. The narrative that unfolds in Women in Ancient America is based on the most recent research, using evidence & examples from a wide range of cultures dating from the Paleoindian period to European invasion.
