2. 2. The Invisible Sex

   Uncovering the True Roles of Women in Prehistory

   

   A synthesis of archaeological and ethnographic evidence that challenges the male-centered “hunter” narrative, arguing that women were central innovators and economic drivers in prehistory. It emphasizes the overlooked significance of perishable technologies such as textiles, basketry, nets, and cordage, alongside plant gathering, medicine, and childcare, showing how preservation bias and interpretive assumptions have obscured these contributions; by reexamining artifacts, imagery, and comparative societies, it reconstructs a more balanced picture of gender roles in the deep past.
