What Was It Like to Be a Woman During the Stone Age?

Tonight, you're not fighting in a trench or trapped in a gilded palace. No — tonight, you are forgotten. You were born into the Paleolithic world under a cold, starless sky. No one wrote your name. No one carved your story into stone. But you lived. You bled. You gave birth by firelight. You buried your dead with moss. You survived in silence.

This is the brutal, invisible life of a prehistoric woman — a life shaped by labor, hunger, cold, and a lineage that was never meant to be remembered.
