I was watching this talk by David Graeber. He's a University professor out of Birmingham.

He basically explains how agriculture got its start off the slave labor of women. In fact, in certain ancient societies slave was a word only used for women. To have a male slave was considered impossible. That's why multiple wives were considered a good thing.....more slave labor.
