Far from being confined to their homes, these women rode out to hunt, travelled to distance places, or used weapons to fend off their enemies. These warriors were no exceptions to the rule, with women enjoying a significantly higher degree of equality than their Greek contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemembering Women\u003c\/i\u003e argues that there is a historical precedent for a fairer society. From reappraisals of well-known objects such as the earliest human bone calendars from the Stone Age to revelatory findings of innovative bioarcheological methods used on human remains from Ancient Scythia, evidence is accumulating that there were places in the past where all women were allowed to thrive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterweaving new findings from archaeology with the stories of her mother and grandmothers, as well as her everyday experiences as a woman living today, Lehnen explores our collective memory of women and argues that it needs to change if we are to create an egalitarian society. \u003ci\u003eRemembering Women\u003c\/i\u003e follows the traces left in the material, literary, and archaeological record by our foremothers, and their heirlooms, artwork and stories, to take a fresh look at our life in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55847106052470,"sku":"9781837732173","price":19.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35087077_95b33306-ff7f-4591-9929-b5923f61c2ff.jpg?v=1751564332","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781837732173-remembering-women","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
