"Women Who Drank Stone"

"Women Who Drank Stone" refers to a cultural and historical practice among certain Indigenous women in the Andes of South America, particularly among the Aymara people. These women would consume a drink made from fermented maize or corn, often mixed with a key ingredient called "stone," derived from local plants. This traditionally prepared beverage served social and ritual purposes, symbolizing community bonding and cultural identity. The phrase highlights the importance of traditional practices and their role in women's lives within these cultures, illustrating both the social and economic aspects of Indigenous heritage.
