Synopsis
This pioneering work, first published in 1972, was the first to argue irrefutably the equal role of women in human evolution. It created a worldwide furor and became a rallying point for women everywhere. Its influence has been profound and lasting -- on the terminology used by students of prehistoric anthropology, on the theory of evolution, and on the biblically fostered attitudes toward women. The author discusses changes since the book was first published and tells what needs to be done in the future. It remains the key book in any discussion of women and their place in society.
