La Mujer De Los Orígenes by Claudine Cohen

Imágenes de la mujer en la prehistoria occidental

A critical, interdisciplinary exploration of how images and narratives of prehistoric women have been constructed by science, archaeology, art, and popular culture. It reassesses evidence such as Venus figurines, rock art, burials, and tools to challenge androcentric myths like the exclusive “man the hunter” model, proposing more nuanced possibilities for women’s roles, status, sexuality, and motherhood. Combining historiography with scientific synthesis, it shows how ideology shapes interpretations of the deep past and urges caution about what the evidence can truly support.
