Book
Ladies of the field : early women archaeologists and their search for adventure / Amanda Adams.
Lives of seven significant women pioneers who balanced their passions for potsherds, early culture, and humanity's origins with the more conventional Victorian and early 20th-century expectations of upper-class American and European women. These adventurous women advanced archeology in sites as diverse as Mexico, Iraq, and Egypt.
