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.

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.
