Conversations: Weave, Baby, Weave, Women’s Work in Ancient Sumeria with Alex Wells

Liv and Michaela sit down with past episode guest Alex Wells, host of The Drumbeat Forever After podcast, all about women and their work in ancient Sumeria and Mesopotamia. We love talking with guests that know more about other regions of the Mediterranean (and possibly other parts of the world?) and are so pleased to get these perspectives so we can get a fuller understanding of the ancient world, and not just Greece and Rome.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.
