This beautiful, unique book presents a rich, colorful iconography of women in the Neolithic period. Two hundred illustrations of figurines, stelae, statues, and rock art reveal how early rural societies "saw" women.
In a fascinating text, Jean Guilaine shows how these representations, astonishing by their cultural diversity, allow us to better understand the role of women in the Neolithic period.
While women have long remained "invisible" in historical accounts, this book dedicated to Françoise Héritier gives them back their rightful place in the trajectory of humanity and lays the foundations of a history of women for this crucial period of transition from Prehistory to History.
The women of yesterday shed light on the women of today.
Jean Guilaine was a research director at the CNRS, director of studies at the EHESS, then professor of archaeology at the Collège de France (chair of "Civilizations of Europe in the Neolithic and Bronze Age"). Member of the Institut de France and honorary president of the French Prehistoric Society, Grand Prix de l'Archéologie from the Ministry of Culture (1985), he holds an honorary doctorate from the universities of Barcelona and Lisbon. He is the author, published by Odile Jacob, of La Seconde Naissance de l'homme, Paul Tournal, founder of prehistory (with Chantal Alibert), Les Chemins de la protohistoire and Mémoires d'un protohistorien. La traversée des âges.
