This is an informative take on eleven women who were early pioneers in archeology. There has been very little written about these women and their contributions in the field. Most of these women found comfort in the company of other women.These are the women included in this book.

The book is well written and researched. I wish more people knew about these brave women trying to compete in a man’s world. If you enjoy reading women’s history and archeology, you may like this book.
