Exploding the traditional myth that view queens as simply an
appendage to the king, these essays explore the social and cultural
constructions of female power. This volume does more than merely
identify and describe queens, but rather, offers its readers an
understanding of the roles of these 'dominant women', situated
within archaeological discourse that change our assumptions about
female-ruled societies. Examining the ancient societies in Asia,
North and South America, Europe and Africa, the authors explore the
powerful positions held by queens, as well as the role that gender
played in their kingdoms. Spearheading the notion that 'women's
work' is not the same in all cultures, the contributions in this
volume compel readers to rethink gender relationships and ideology
in our cultures.
