She begins by exploring the roles women played in early civilisations, visiting Turkey to take in Catalhyk, which is thought to be one of the world's earliest settlements, and one where unexpected notions of gender are believed to have developed. She explores how the world's first codified laws regulated women’s' status in Mesopotamia, introducing the first-known veiling law two millennia before the advent of Islam, and profiles ancient females who created their own routes to power in male-dominated cultures. Among these pioneers are Enheduanna, the world's first recorded author, the Ukok Ice Maiden, and Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most successful - but also most maligned - queens.
