Women played key roles in Byzantine society: some ruled or co-ruled
the empire, and others commissioned art and buildings, went on
pilgrimages, and wrote. This engrossing book draws on evidence
ranging from pictorial mosaics and inscriptions on the walls of
churches to women's poetry and histories, examining for the first
time the lives, occupations, beliefs, and social roles of Byzantine
women. In each chapter Carolyn L. Connor introduces us to a single
woman-from the elite to the ordinary-and uses her as a springboard
to discuss Byzantine society. Frequently quoting from contemporary
accounts, Connor reveals what these women thought of themselves and
their lives and how they remembered the lives of women who had
lived earlier. Informative, sympathetic, and engagingly written,
this book is a window into Byzantine culture and women's history
that has never before been opened.
