Books with title Ancient Greek Women

  • Women in Ancient Greece

    Fiona Macdonald

    Hardcover (Chrysalis Books, July 1, 1999)
    The story of ancient Greece is one of expansion, powerful statesmen and soldier citizens. In ancient Greek society, where the birth of male heirs was vital, women were tightly controlled by men and their laws. Women's voices are rarely heard and their lives are shown mainly through the eyes of male writers and artists. In myths and poems women are often dismissed as foolish, untrustworthy, even dangerous. But there are also stories of women praised for their honour, intelligence and courage, and in real life women were at the centre of the families and households on which Greek civilization depended.
