Archaeological feminism

Archaeological feminism is an approach within archaeology that examines past societies through the lens of gender, aiming to highlight the roles, contributions, and experiences of women and marginalized groups often overlooked in traditional interpretations. It questions patriarchal biases in archaeological methods and interpretations, seeking to bring a more balanced and nuanced understanding of historical cultures. By doing so, it challenges assumptions that gender roles were fixed or universal and emphasizes the importance of gender as a key factor in understanding human history and societal development.
