Music description. Thanks and happy listening. Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Let's Talk About Myths Baby.

This episode is with Alex Wells, a past guest, talking about women's work in ancient Sumeria, such as weaving.

It's so much fun. It was such a fun episode to write as you will be able to hear live and i were just full of just ADHD struggles that day or we just could

not get our brains to work sufficiently but you know it all came out wonderfully and well and we're so

thankful to have people like Alex Wells come on and teach us about things that we don't know

about and want to make more accessible for everyone else and this was such a fun topic

and was really interesting to see the differences between Greek culture and

Sumerian culture and their approaches

towards women generally.

Anyways, I won't keep you any longer.

We'll get right into it.

But I mean, yeah, did you end up learning about weaving in the Sumerian culture, you know, just purely because you're so involved in researching the culture broadly? Or did you have like an interest in weaving?

Not to be too fine to point on it, but like weaving is a woman's job.
