The legal situation of the women of ancient Rome was extremely
complex, and - since there was no sharp distinction between free
woman, freedwoman and slave - the definition of their legal
position is often heard. Basing her lively analysis on detailed
study of literary and epigraphic material, Jane F. Gardner explores
the provisions of the Roman laws as they related to women. Dr
Gardner describes the ways in which the laws affected women
throughout their lives - in families, as daughters, wives and
parents; as heiresses and testators; as owners and controllers of
property; and as workers. She looks with particular attention at
the ways in which the strict letter of the law came to be modified,
softened, circumvented, and even changed, pointing out that the
laws themselves tell us as much about the economic situation of
women and the range of opportunities available to them outside the
home.
