Rezensionen
"In short, as this volume shows us, there is no doubt that the gender perspective has been the strongest theoretical and methodological stimulus for the study of prehistory during the last decades. Adopting such a perspective provides a much more complex panorama of prehistoric societies than that which has been described to date. Such a panorama is, in turn, infinitely more stimulating."
"Part 2's strength is its global breadth, with most contributors offering a synthesized and regionally bounded historiography of gender studies. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."
"This enormous book contains it all: past studies, current theory, everyone on gender. I can't wait to own a copy!"
- Joan Gero, American University
"The publication of A Companion to Gender Prehistory signals a new era in feminist and queer archaeology. With contributions from both established and emerging scholars throughout the world, this volume showcases the diversity and strengths of gender-focused archaeology in the study of the deep past. The authors stimulate our curiosity about the long history of gender and sexuality and chart new directions for emerging research."
- Barbara L. Voss, Stanford University
