This first extensive work on ladies in pre-Columbian American cultures describes gender functions and associations in North, Central, and South America from 12,000 B.C. to the A.D. 1500s. Utilizing many key archaeological works, Karen Olsen Bruhns and Karen E. Stothert redress a few of the long-standing male bias in writing about ancient Native American lifeways. Bruhns and Stothert concentrate on some of the most thought-provoking areas of analysis in the Americas: the origins of agriculture, the development of sophisticated societies, the evolution of spiritual systems, and the interpretation of art work and mortuary materials. The creators pay particular attention to the issues of interpreting archaeological remains and the uses of historical and ethnographic data in reconstructing the past. The booklet is printed by School of Oklahoma Press.
