Editorial Reviews

Using evidence from legal transactions, inscriptions, papyri, pottery, literature, and historical records, as well as insights drawn from sociological, psychoanalytical, and quantitative approaches to history, Sarah Pomeroy has fulfilled the need for an up-to-date, carefully documented reference work and textbook on women in antiquity.
