REMEMBERING WOMEN: LESSONS FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD (PB)

From reappraisals of objects such as human bone calendars from the Stone Age to the revelatory findings of new investigation of human remains from Ancient Scythia, evidence is building that there were times and places in the past in which all women were able to thrive. Interweaving findings from archaeology with stories of her mother and grandmothers, as well as her everyday experiences as a woman living today, Christine Lehnen explores our collective memory of women and argues that it needs to change if we are to create an egalitarian society.
