tobyleblancauthor's review against another edition
5.0
Truly a dialogue more than a book. Richlin pulls you into the "argument," challenging why we don't know more about women in the classics and what that means about not only our own reading of these classics, but our own representation of women in modern society.
ellanarose's review
3.0
This is outdated, despite it being published just six years ago. It has aspects which are misogynistic, while doing its absolute best to be inclusive of all women... but it fails at that.
As a piece of academic writing, I'd recommend this to anyone interested in learning about academia; every chapter has an introduction saying what the author was doing at the time of writing it initially.
As a book about Classics, and the historiography of Roman women, I would not recommend this.
