Lady Sapiens: Breaking Stereotypes About Prehistoric Women

by Eric Pincas, Jennifer Kerner & Thomas Cirotteau

Lady Sapiens is a nonfiction book, translated from French, that offers a great introduction to what we know about women who lived during the Upper Paleolithic period (40,000 to 10,000 years ago). The authors report on what the latest science says about our human ancestors in a clear, no-nonsense way and you learn a lot from reading it. The book is also very nicely illustrated.
