Women of the Forest (Columbia Classics in Anthropology)
A salute to women's liberation in a portrait of a fascinating primitive people.(Margaret Mead)Women of the Forestrestores something of the balance that has been missing from conventional anthropology -- an anthropology largely written by men -- in giving this lucid account of the fundamental roles played by women in all societies. Very readable it sets the record straight for widely but wrongly held beliefs concerning many aspects of the roles of the sexes in all societies.(Ashley Montagu)
