Observation On Female Cooperation Among The Zapotecs, An Indigenous People Of Southern Mexico, J. M. Brueske
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Cross-cultural study has suggested that the presence of an extradomestic market for women's produce is one precondition for the development of female solidarity groups, and that such groups seem to be antecedent to female public power and/or authority.

Anthropology And The Academy Of Science: The Need For A New Role, Timothy C. Klinger
Anthropology And The Academy Of Science: The Need For A New Role, Timothy C. Klinger
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Few anthropology papers were presented at the Annual Meetings of the Arkansas Academy of Science before 1968. Establishment of the Arkansas Archeological Survey in 1967 brought an influx of professional anthropologists to the state and a subsequent increase in the number of anthropology papers published. However, the growth in number of active anthropologists has created a need for more information channels within the state. The time is right for the Anthropology Section of the Academy to become a formal base for interaction and information dissemination among anthropologists.
