Image description: A picture of a painting that shows an outdoor scene on a grassy plain with hills in the distance. In the foreground on the left stands a women in a pink tunic and brown belt, holding several spears or some kind of weapon in her left hand and holding one of them aloft in her right hand as if to throw it at an animal close by. The animal looks to be some kind of mammal, possibly a deer but it’s not clear.

This article from Mic is a super fun article to read and learn from. It’s also super patriarchal and problematic. This is the headline: “Ancient remains prove women have been running shit for at least 9000 years.”
