The Descent of Woman
The Classic Study of Evolution
Paperback Book by Elaine Morgan
This pioneering work, first published in 1972 and revised in 1985, was the first to argue, intelligently and irrefutably, the equal role of women in human evolution. It created a worldwide furore and became a rallying point for women everywhere.
The book’s influence has been profound and lasting – on the terminology used by students of prehistoric anthropology, on the theory of evolution and, above all, on the biblically fostered attitudes towards women as an afterthought and an amenity. It remains the key book in any discussion of women’s place in society.
This edition, reprinted from that of 1985, includes the author’s Postscript in which she discussed changes in attitudes since the book’s first publication and the pointers for the future.
