Synopsis

Our understanding of Paleolithic times often features male hunters and timid women, but new research suggests this view is inaccurate. This book presents a fresh look at prehistory, arguing that women were crucial innovators, developing essential tools like clothing, ropes, and nets. It also explores women's central role in the development of language and social life, offering a new story about women in prehistory and challenging modern assumptions about gender.
