“But what, I ask, was life really like? What hard evidence do we have for what we might want to know about women's lives? No evidence means no real knowledge.”
― Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years: Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times
― Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years: Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times
“Along the way I kept running across wonderful bits of information about the women - virtually always women - who produced these textiles and about the values that different societies put on the products and their makers. When I talked about my work, people seemed especially eager for these vignettes, stories that told of women's lives thousands of years ago.”
