Offering remarkable insights into Australian Aboriginal society from the perspective of women, Aboriginal Woman Sacred and Profane highlights the importance of studying gender in anthropology. Phyllis Kaberry was the first anthropologist to examine and understand the fullness of Aboriginal women's lives, which had been classified as restricted and uninvolved with religious practice. She portrayed the Aboriginal woman in a realistic light, as a complex social personality with her own prerogatives, duties, problems, beliefs, rituals and points of view.
