Skara Brae women archaeologists who were written out of history

[Judi Lynn]

5. Absolutamente. Just got back from posting it a moment ago, after being away a while this morning.

I had never heard about any women in that field, either, until I started looking for archeology articles in the last few years, and fewer than fingers on one hand started surfacing in the material I saw. The only one I had heard of before that was the second wife of Louis Leakey, Mary Douglas Leakey, who had a career in her own right.

It has been a long, hard struggle for women in archeology. Awful. Worked just as hard and just as long, but no one outside knew about them. Insane.

Thank you, niyad.
