What reading level is Womans Share in Primitive Culture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The work would seem to have been done by women, since Sahagun speaks of the women and girls employed in the industry as danc- ing at the feast in honor of the goddess of salt in the month Tecuilpuitontli. * The fact that salt was under the protection of a goddess is also prima facie evidence that the industry belonged to women, as will be seen in the chapter on religion. Bancroft has gathered all the authorities upon this subject, and mentions that the Aztec kings monopolized the commodity so t...hat the Tlascalas, who kept their independence, were forced for many years to eat their food unsalted.
In the neighbourhood of salt springs in the Ohio Valley fragments of immense earthen vessels are discovered in great numbers bearing the imprint of the well-known aboriginal twined weaving. This would further demon- strate woman's share in salt-making, and also furnish an- other example of composite industry. The Ohio salt boil- ers were weavers, potters, quarry women, and common carriers as well as salt producers.
