This volume deploys recent feminist epistemological frameworks to
analyze how concepts like knowledge, authority, rationality,
objectivity and testimony were constructed in Greece and Rome. The
introduction serves as a field guide to feminist epistemological
interpretations of classical sources, and the following sixteen
chapters treat a variety of genres and time periods, from Greek
poetry, tragedy, philosophy, oratory, historiography and material
culture to Roman comedy, epic, oratory, letters, law and their
reception. By using an intersectional approach to demonstrate how
epistemic systems exclude and pathologize the experiences of
ancient women and other oppressed groups, these contributions aid
in the recovery of non-dominant narratives and reveal issues of
sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, religion, age,
class, familial status and citizenship in the ancient and modern
world. The volume contributes to a more inclusive and equitable
study of classical antiquity and builds transhistorical connections
capable of exposing similar injustices in our own time.
