Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing clothing created from spun fibers. In Womens Work, archaeologist-linguist Elizabeth Wayland Barber weaves the strands of mythology and literature, ethnology and documented history into a rich tapestry (John Noble Wilford, New York Times Book Review), illuminating the vital role women held in pre-industrial societies. With a distinctive and innovative approach to ancient remains, Barber examines ancient textiles from Stone Age string skirts and ancient Egyptian sleeved tunics to intricate Neolithic Swiss linens and colorfully patterned Minoan dresses, offering us captivating glimpses into the daily lives of women through the cloth they made and wore.
