This volume, the first of it's kind, examines the role of women paleontologists and archaeologists in a field traditionally dominated by men. Women researchers in this field, have questioned many of the assumptions and developmental scenarios advanced by male scientists. As a result of such efforts, women have forged a more central role in models of human development and have radically altered the way in which human evolution is perceived.This history of the feminist critique of science, is of profound significance and will be of interest to all those who work in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, paleontology, and human biology.

'Women in Human Evolution represent special achievements.' - New Scientist'The book has a clear and stated focus and the whole is refreshingly held together by a body of feminist theory which impacts with clarity on the complacency of male-stream evolutionary studies In bringing together such a strong and diverse team, Hager is to be congratulated for her vision and for producing a gusty little gem of a book.' - Archaeological Journal
