Food Sexism in Bronze Age China
- In the central plain of China, several human bones found in the Yellow River basin have been analyzed, by analyzing stable isotopes. As published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, it has been concluded that men and women had a very different diet.

Discrimination continued even after death, as female graves were much more modest.
