Abstract
This book tackles, with a fresh and innovative approach, a subject about which much has already been written. It is an excellent collection of papers on women in Antiquity and the many different aspects that this topic encompasses. It focuses not only on the important women of Antiquity, but also on the way in which females in general are portrayed in ancient literature, the key issues that affected them in their daily lives (love, death, marriage, work and pregnancy) and other marginal activities in which they were involved, such as magic. There is also a limited amount of reflection on the history and state of affairs of Gender Studies as a whole, which serves as to reinforce the relevance of this book.
