Prehistorias de mujeres

What role did the first women have in prehistory? Were they really the ones who stayed to take care of the offspring? What were motherhood and child rearing really like? At what point did women begin to lose power? In the story that has been built of prehistoric societies, women have occupied a secondary place that science has not bothered to understand and explain in depth until now, when feminism claims the fundamental role of women in history. This passionate essay also reveals to us how the beginning of archeology in the 19th century as a scientific discipline marked the vision of women and how this served to justify inequalities. A book that tries to break myths, makes us reflect on the origin of inequality and uncovers the essential contribution of our most distant ancestors.
