Sinopsis

This highly acclaimed collection provides a rare look into the private lives and legal status of Greek and Roman women of all social classes -- wet nurses, prostitutes, poets, gladiators, musicians, intellectuals, priestesses, and housewives. The third edition offers new texts in nearly every section, vividly describing women's sentiments and circumstances through readings on love, bereavement, and friendship, but also on property rights, breast cancer, female circumcision, and women's roles in ancient religions, including Christianity and witchcraft.
