The Forest People by C Turnbull

The forest people are one of the most hyper galatarian societies. Women hunt together with men, and even older children can often make decisions that trump the will of adults. The book was written for popular consumption, and because it was 19 61, the forest people reads a bit like a fairy tale. And i think that c turnbull's work is really amazing in terms of describing how the material circumstances of different cultures shapes their lives.
