Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years: Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times was a very eye opening read for me. It amazed just how overlooked the contributions of women are. If it were not for their contributions I think it is safe to say that we would be nowhere near to where we are as a society today. I feel like women are the unsung heroes and are only now beginning to be recognized for all they do since in the past it has just been seen as what they were meant to be doing and no praise was necessary. This reading is definitely a good way of giving the women of the past their long overdue appreciation.
