Description: Using evidence from the Athenian Agora the authors show how objects discovered during excavations provide a vivid picture of women's lives. The book is structured according to the social roles women played: as owners of property, companions (in and outside of marriage), participants in ritual, craftspeople, producers and consumers.
Brief description: Susan I. Rotroff is the Jarvis Thurston and Mona Van Duyn Professor in Humanities and Robert D. Lamberton is Professor of Classics at Washington University in St. Louis.
Review Quotes: ...[this book] is to be recommended for students and general readers, and if it is typical of the quality of the whole series, here is a rich source of information for the general reader on a variety of topics surrounding domestic aspects of the Athenian Agora excavations.
