NPR: Working Moms Have Been A 'Thing' Since Ancient History - "By studying the bones of ancient women in Europe, archaeologists at the University of Cambridge have uncovered a hidden history of women's manual labor, from the early days of farming about 7,500 years ago up until about 2,000 years ago."

Lydia Brown and Chion Wolf contributed to this show, which originally aired on March 25, 2019.

Lucy leads Connecticut Public's strategies to deeply connect and build collaborations with community-focused organizations across the state.
