Product description

Review

This admirable source book will be widely used.Times Educational SupplementThe modern reader can enter the ancient world through this text.London Review of BooksInvaluable in providing not only 'mainstream' authors but much less accessible items.JACT ReviewThe choice of materials is excellent... Although the book is designed for classroom use, it provides an excellent introduction to the field as a whole.ChoiceWithout doubt this book should be favorable received by students and scholars alike. Copious anecdotes, funerary inscriptions, legal and philosophical tracts serve to illuminate fully the position of women in Classical antiquity... Women's Life in Greece and Rome accomplishes with erudition, grace, and humor its aim.The History TeacherIn its third incarnation, Women's Life in Greece and Rome should remain a staple reference work for undergraduates and scholars alike.Bryn Mawr Classical ReviewThroughout the history of this text, as the dust jacket for the first edition attests, 'what remains unchanged is the extraordinary power of these writings and the eloquence with which they speak for and about women in the ancient world.'Phyllis B. KatzNew England Classical JournalThis text will continue to be of significant value to students and scholars alike who wish to research women in the ancient world.Marian Osbourne BerkyReligious Studies ReviewThis commendable and successful work continues to generate plenty of discussion both in and out of the classroom and has clearly been a force behind the application of new methodologies in the area of women in antiquity.Lisa HughesMouseion: Journal of Classical Association of Canada

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a book.

Women's Life in Greece and Rome is a book about, you guessed it, women's lives in Greece and Rome.
This was a required text for a Western Civilization I class, and it did its job informing me about the lives of women in Greece and Rome. This book largely consists of translations of source texts, with some analysis of their contents. It is neither too technical for a relative layman, nor too watered down to be a good reference text in the future, so I'm going to keep it, rather than reselling.
I would hazard a guess that if you're reading reviews of it, you're either very interested in the specific topic, or are required to read it for a class, so I can't imagine that what I have to say would have much effect, but here it goes: Women's Life in Greece and Rome covers its topic in depth to a degree that I don't imagine any other text in this area does. If you're interested in the subject matter, then this is the book for you.

got this book for a class and ended up reading a majority of it on my own for pleasure. Not a chronological book, but one that references different topics throughout history (i.e. Slaves, goddesses etc..). Very informative and full of information.

Excellent. A must read for women smart enough to know, that the doctrines in todays church world are leaving much to be desired, regarding women. Author has approached the topic very intelligently. Very well researched.

This is an excellent collection of source materials including literary an iconographic evidence for the lives and experiences of women in these ancient civilisations. There are 100s of examples of how women lived, worshipped and died. It is best suited to students of history or classics, but equally appropriate for the dedicated amateur.
