Opis

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. A final section moves from the ancient world to the modern, discussing the role of women as archaeologists in the early years of the Agora excavations."
