Indispensable for the student or researcher studying women's
history, this book draws upon a wide array of cultural settings and
time periods in which women displayed agency by carrying out their
daily economic, familial, artistic, and religious obligations.
Since record keeping began, history has been written by a
relatively few elite men. Insights into women's history are left to
be gleaned by scholars who undertake careful readings of ancient
literature, examine archaeological artifacts, and study popular
culture, such as folktales, musical traditions, and art. For some
historical periods and geographic regions, this is the only way to
develop some sense of what daily life might have been like for
women in a particular time and place. This reference explores the
daily life of women across civilizations. The work is organized in
sections on different civilizations from around the world, arranged
chronologically. Within each society, the encyclopedia highlights
the roles of women within five broad thematic categories: the arts,
economics and work, family and community life, recreation and
social customs, and religious life. Included are numerous sidebars
containing additional information, document excerpts, images, and
suggestions for further reading.
