No, prehistoric women didn't spend their days sweeping caves and taking care of children while waiting for men to return from hunting. They also hunted large mammals, crafted tools and jewelry, built shelters, and explored symbolic expression. Archaeological remains and DNA analysis support this, showing no evidence that women were considered inferior or subordinate to men in Paleolithic societies. Why then does the image propagated by the early 19th-century prehistorians persist? Critics have said... "This book opens a new path to thinking and is avidly read. Overflowing with information, it's as solid as a menhir." Françoise Cariès, MAG Centre "A valuable essay that gives us the keys to renew our vision of genders and individuals through prehistory's lenses." Camille Crosnier, La Terre au Carré "An intelligent book that creates a real space for women." Fabienne Chauvière, Les Savanturiers "Erudite and fascinating." Laëtitia Vitaud, Welcome to the Jungle "A captivating work." Baudouin Eschapasse, Le Point "In this dazzling book, Patou-Mathis deconstructs our collective imagination and tells a new story of women." Guy Duplat, La Libre Belgique "Patou-Mathis brings us happy news that provide us with new weapons to fight against naturalistic arguments." Dorothée Werner, Elle "Patou-Mathis flings the flint against the wall and drops a bombshell: women have been the great forgotten of prehistory." Sophie Carquain, Version Femina
