In \u003cem\u003eWomen's Work\u003c\/em\u003e, archaeologist-linguist Elizabeth Wayland Barber \"weaves the strands of mythology and literature, ethnology and documented history into a rich tapestry\" (John Noble Wilford, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e), illuminating the vital role women held in pre-industrial societies.
