Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years
Author: Elizabeth Wayland Barber
Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. The extreme perishability of what women produced is largely responsible for this omission. - a gap that leaves out virtually half the picture of prehistoric and early historic cultures. But today, new discoveries about the textile arts are revealing woman's vital role in pre-industrial societies.
The authors shows that women were a powerful economic force in the ancient and early modern worlds, with their own industry: fabric.
