This collection of essays explores the lives and roles of women in
antiquity. A recurring theme is the relationship between private
and public, and many of the essays find that women's public roles
develop as a result of their private lives, specifically their
family relationships.
Essays on Hellenistic queens and Spartan and Roman women document
how women exerted political power--usually, but not always, through
their relationship to male leaders--and show how political upheaval
created opportunities for them to exercise powers previously
reserved for men. Essays on the writings of Sappho and Nossis focus
on the interaction between women's public and private discourses.
The collection also includes discussion of Athenian and Roman
marriage and the intrusion of the state into the sexual lives of
Greek, Roman, and Jewish women as well as an investigation of
scientific opinion about female physiology.
The contributors are Sarah B. Pomeroy, Jane McIntosh Snyder,
Marilyn M. Skinner, Cynthia B. Patterson, Ann Ellis Hanson, Lesley
Dean-Jones, Natalie Boymel Kampen, Mary Taliaferro Boatwright, and
Shaye J.D. Cohen.
