that children be involved. She felt that from the youngest of ages children should be socialized to approach conflicts and problems critically and non-confrontationally. Women, being mothers, have a great influence in setting the foundation for this peace culture by teaching their children. ... We're never going to have respectful and reverential relationships with the planet- and sensible policies about what we put in the air, the soil, the water – if very young children don't begin learning about these things literally in their houses, backyards, streets and schools. We need to have human beings who are oriented that way from their earliest memories. Women's role in history and the peace process Boulding's book The Underside of History: A View of Women through Time, first published 1976, explored the changing roles of women from Paleolithic times to the present. She attempted to understand what she described as women's "underlife" and men's' "overlife" in social roles. Boulding likened modern women's roles to that of inmates: the household imprisons them and expects them to be "on call" at all times to provide for their husbands and children. Women are, in a sense, stripped of their identity, autonomy and privacy and considered "under" their family and husbands. However, this needs not always be the case, Boulding asserts. In hunter-gatherer communities female-male relationships were egalitarian. Men's work was dedicated to hunting, providing about 20% of the food. Women, on the other hand, provided the other 80% of the food through gathering and capturing small game near their campsites; they were also what Boulding calls the 'breeder-feeders,' producing and feeding the family. In these communities, women thus filled the triple role of 'breeder-feeder-producers'. As communities moved from hunting/gathering to agricultural communities, women's and men's roles further differentiated. Women stayed close to where the crops were planted while men continued to hunt. Men were now away hunting for days while women stayed in the same spot. Men's mobility allowed them to acquire a body of knowledge about distant places and people which women lacked. As men began to trade with other communities, women's work was further devalued: men were able to supply their produce to other villages and gain otherwise unavailable goods in return. Trading led to urbanization: men moved to jobs in cities, while women stayed at home with the family. This created a differentiation between women's and men's spaces: women's space was private (dedans),
