Crime and punishment, criminal law and its administration, are
areas of ancient history that have been explored less than many
other aspects of ancient civilizations. Throughout history women
have been affected by crime both as victims and as offenders. Yet,
in the ancient world, customary laws were created by men, formal
laws were written by men, and both were interpreted and enforced by
men. This 2-volume explores the role of gender in the formation and
administration of ancient law and examines the many gender
categories and relationships established in ancient law, including
marriage, parentage, widowhood, adoption, inheritance, debt,
liability, and so forth. It presents data that has been newly
discovered, underreported, or omitted from previous works on
ancient law. It also re-examines and reevaluates prior
interpretations and conclusions, to enable the silent voices of
ancient women to be heard and their invisible lives to be seen in
the light of modern feminist scholarship.
