The first women archaeologists were Victorian era adventurers who
felt most at home when farthest from it. Canvas tents were their
domains, hot Middle Eastern deserts their gardens of inquiry and
labor. Thanks to them, prevailing ideas about feminine nature --
soft, nurturing, submissive -- were upended. Ladies of the Field
tells the story of seven remarkable women, each a pioneering
archaeologist, each headstrong, smart, and courageous, who burst
into what was then a very young science. Amanda Adams takes us with
them as they hack away at underbrush under a blazing sun, battle
swarms of biting bugs, travel on camelback for weeks on end, and
feel the excitement of unearthing history at an archaeological
site. Adams also reveals the dreams of these extraordinary women,
their love of the field, their passion for holding the past in
their hands, their fascination with human origins, and their utter
disregard for convention.
