L'homme préhistorique est aussi une femme

"Yes, that’s Marylène Patou-Mathis’s approach in this book: she’s trying to explain why we have these preconceived ideas about prehistoric women engraved inside our heads. She explains it from the starting point of Western culture, from Greek times, to the Christians, and to the time when the science of archaeology was born. In the 19th century, in Victorian times, women were mainly dealing with domestic matters. Men had political power, economic power, military power, and all the rights. Women at that time were treated like minors: they didn’t have the right to vote, or handle money. She explains why, because of this history, we have these representations like an anchor inside of our brain."
