A History of Women in the West, Volume I, From Ancient Goddesses to Christian Saints
Series Editor Georges Duby
Series Editor Michelle Perrot
Edited by Pauline Schmitt Pantel
Translated by Arthur Goldhammer
The inaugural volume brings women from the margins of ancient history into the fore. It offers fresh insight into more than twenty centuries of Greek and Roman history and encompasses a landscape that stretches from the North Sea to the Mediterranean and from the Pillars of Hercules to the banks of the Indus. The authors draw upon a wide range of sources including gravestones, floor plans, papyrus rolls, vase paintings, and literary works to illustrate how representations of women evolved during this age. They journey into the minds of men and bring to light an imaginative history of women and of the relations between the sexes.
