Recenzii

This ambitious series traces the lives and experiences of women throughout history ... Absorbing.
The essays making up this six-volume set are entertaining, insightful, debatable, scholarly and yet accessible. Arguments are presented that are new, deserving of debate and consideration. Old arguments resurface for new consideration ... The result is a comprehensive overview of women culturally through two and a half thousand years of history.
Chapters are well researched and feature numerous illustrations. Each volume ends with chapter notes and an extensive bibliography. VERDICT An excellent starting point for projects requiring information about the cultural history of women, and a worthwhile addition to academic collections, especially those with a strong women's and gender studies program.
Highly recommended for academic libraries-a must for those with women's-studies programs-and large public libraries.
