Reflexionando sobre la mujer aborigen de Gran Canaria: integrando arqueología y etnohistoria desde una perspectiva de género.

Abstract

This contribution is intended to consider the role of women in the pre-Hispanic society of Gran Canaria. I consider several archaeological and ethnohistorical evidences that suggest that the social relationships were based on an asymmetric gender system dominated by males. The sexual division of labour, an asymmetric access to what was produced, the control of kinship relationships and the reproductive capacity of women, as well as their role in the religious and funerary spheres, are considered together to reach a wide understanding of the daily-life conditions of the pre-Hispanic women.
