Description

Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing clothing created from spun fibers. In Women's 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.

Editorial Reviews

The abiding fascination of her book is the way Ms. Barber weaves the strands of mythology and literature, archeology, ethnology and documented history into a rich tapestry. Women's Work is a delight to read....Enough facts of the real history of women's work and their place in society in early times have survived, and a fascinating story they make in Elizabeth Wayland Barber's capable hands.--John Noble Wilford "New York Times Book Review"
