Review

This well-edited book is a timely example of how many classicists are currently engaging with Greco-Roman culture. It will generate debate and stimulate furthur research.
–Europe: Ancient and Medieval

This volume of essays on women and slaves in Greco-Roman antiquity goes a long toward filling the gap in available material that addresses simultaneously issues of gender and class in Greek and Roman culture. This volume will be of great value to those teaching about and studying women and slaves in antiquity because of its persistent attention to making complicated seemingly simple analogies between women and slaves.
