Women of the period 1865 to 1900 -- New directions in the period 1900 to 1920 -- Women entering the field during the "roaring twenties" -- Women entering archaeology, 1930 to 1940.

Between the Civil War and World War II, many women went into anthropology and archaeology, fields that, at the beginning of this period, welcomed and made room for amateurs of both genders. But over time, the increasingly professional structure of these fields diminished or even obscured the contributions of women due to their lack of access to prestigious academic employment and publishing opportunities. As a result, a woman archaeologist.
