What reading level is Woman's Share in Primitive Culture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bur. Ethnol., pp.
219, 220.
THE SKIN DRESSER. 85 As soon as the tents were erected each woman put up her drying frame, of which there were two or three for each tent. These were used for curing fresh meat, and each was made by sticking into the ground two forked sticks that were about four feet high, six or eight feet apart, and placing poles across them. The pieces of meat were hung across the transverse poles.* These frames are universal in the domiciles of savages.
Wherever skin garments are... worn the frame serves as a convenient place for drying clothing that has been satu- rated with rain.
The tailoring of savage women, especially that of the North American women, is most interesting. While the weavers in the South were making blankets and serapes in the whole piece, never cutting their goods, the tailors north of the Mexican border were excellent cutters. For scissors they used the woman's knife, called ulo by the Eskimos, a blade of chert or other rock, crescent shaped on the outer edge, and a most excellent device for cutting skin without marring the hair.
