In \u003ci\u003eWomen’s Work\u003c\/i\u003e, archaeologist-linguist Elizabeth Wayland Barber “weaves the strands of mythology and literature, ethnology and documented history into a rich tapestry” (John Noble Wilford, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e), illuminating the vital role women held in pre-industrial societies. With a distinctive and innovative approach to ancient remains, Barber examines ancient textiles from Stone Age string skirts and ancient Egyptian sleeved tunics to intricate Neolithic Swiss linens and colorfully patterned Minoan dresses, offering us captivating glimpses into the daily lives of women through the cloth they made and wore.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Wayland Barber\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003ePrehistoric Textiles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mummies of Ürümchi\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Dancing Goddesses\u003c\/i\u003e, among other works.
