LADY SAPIENS (LEGEND PRESS) (PB)

45,000 years ago, rare and precious statues of faceless women with hourglass figures, sturdy hips and generous breasts surfaced across Europe. Spanning thousands of years and nurturing many a fantasy, they are known as the prehistoric Venus figurines. But what were the women who inspired these artefacts really like? Over the past fifteen years a new generation of researchers – many of whom are women – have shaken up this model and are shedding new light on essential and even prestigious role of prehistoric women.
