"A pioneering figure in Mesoamerican archaeology, Tatiana Proskouriakoff successfully challenged established beliefs about Maya civilization and helped provide scholars with a revolutionary approach to the decipherment of ancient Maya hieroglyphs. At a time when men of wealth dominated the field of Mesoamerican exploration and women archaeologists were rare, Proskouriakoff excelled. In the first full-length biography of Proskouriakoff, Char Solomon chronicles the life of this remarkable woman."--Jacket.
