Sexual Revolutions: Gender & Labour

Peterson, Jane

What is 'women's work' and when did domesticity become primarily associated with femininity? In this study Jane Peterson looks at data for gender and labour division in Natufian to Early Bronze Age societies in the southern Levant, comparing evidence from both before and after the establishment of agriculture. Combinging archaeological and anthropological evidence with feminist theory and skeletal material, Peterson challenges many of the common assumptions held about gender stereotypes in the past. 178p, b/w illus, tbs (AltaMira 2002)
