I recently read an article about new discoveries made by Shankari Patel, an anthropology graduate student at the University of California-Riverside, which states that Mayan women were in fact powerful leaders within the society. No glass ceilings existed for the Women of pre-columbian Mexico, how powerful is that? In Mesoamerica there were both female doctors and female authority figures.
