'Women in Human Evolution represent[s] special achievements.' - New Scientist'This book impresses in its scope but depresses in its documentation of the continuing problems of gender bias in the field of human evolution. It contains all that could e looked for in a discussion of women and human evolution. There is historical depth, scientific argument and the exposure of prejudice. It fits into a growing corpus of literature on gender issues and deserves to be read widely. ' - Antiquity'The book has a clear and stated focus and the whole is refreshingly held together by a body of feminist theory which impacts with clarity on the complacency of male-stream evolutionary studies In bringing together such a strong and diverse team, Hager is to be congratulated for her vision and for producing a gusty little gem of a book.' - Archaeological Journal Biografía del autor Lori D. Hager is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Archaeological Research Facility, University of California, Berkeley.
