Recenzii
Unique in scope, this dense guide to what the scanty evidence tells us about women in 12 ancient societies will fill a gap in libraries serving academic high schools with strong history or women's studies programs..[T]his systematic and eye-opening resource will furnish serious students with a study base for topical research in many areas of social history.
[T]his edition would be a good starting point for discussion of why and whether women need a history of their own.
This is a solid work that gives insight into ancient civilizations and allows the reader to compare female roles across cultures. It is a scholarly yet accessible work that is a valuable addition to the field of women's studies.
[A] thoughful and varied look at women's role in ancient civilizations.
The volume succeeds admirably in its presentation of the data available on the topic, clarifying the differences between the more recent and ancient treatment of women in each area and bringing together the texts and archaeological evidence to support the claims made. The book is an important resource because it allows easy access to the information about the similarities and differences in the roles of women in the different ancient areas, but also between the ancient and the modern within each area. Also interesting is the nature of the evidence available in the different areas considered.
This collection has achieved an elegant balance, avoiding the defects of, on one hand, starkness of primary sources without much context, or on the other hand, confusion of anthologized excerpts, sometimes also out of context, that are inaccessible to all but expert.the wook is a rich compilation of information and should be in every library's collection.
An excellent resource for students!
