"Examines women's public and private lives, roles, activities, and influences and their social, economic, legal, political, and literary status in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, from the late Bronze Age to the death of Constantine."
"Studie over de rol van de vrouw in de klassieke oudheid (± 1184 v. Chr. - 337 na Chr.)."
"With few exceptions, our picture of classical history remains to this day peopled with male heroes- warriors, kings, philosophers, poets, dramatists, lawgivers. In this insightful and penetrating study, the author begins to right the balance by focusing on the little-noted but highly influential women of antiquity. Beginning with the earliest classical mythologies, this book traces the Western origins of misogyny and the paradoxical 'double standard' that remains a fixed issue of feminist debate even now. We see the heroines of the Trojan War- Penelope, Clytemnestra, Andromache, the beautiful Helen- revered and powerful, yet regarded by their fathers and husbands as objects of conquest, and totally dependent on males for their security, prestige, and self-identity. We repeatedly see how the vicissitudes of history - wars, colonization, civil disorder- alternately heightened and diminished the primary social purpose of women as childbearers, and thus how female sexuality and the institution of the family were in large part defined by the interests of the state for several centuries. In addition, the author analyzes the impact of various Greek and Roman legal codes upon the status and rights of women, focusing on such vital social and economic issues as inheritance, marriage and divorce, and manumission from the power of fathers or husbands. Utilizing evidence from a wide array of literary, artistic, historical, archaeological, and legal materials, the author gives substance and dimension to the public and private lives of women of all classes in antiquity. From the Helenistic queens, some of the most shrewd and powerful women in history, to the lowliest slave women of Augustan Rome- the author treats them all with the even hand of a seasoned historian, evaluating the quality of their experience and drawing forth the universals that apply to the lives of women in all times. -- from Book Jacket"
