Description
Studying Gender in Classical Antiquity by Lin Foxhall explores how gender was intertwined with various aspects of life in ancient Greece and Rome. This fascinating study examines the complex relationships between gender, wealth, status, age, and individual choices in the classical world. By analyzing a wide range of archaeological, material cultural, visual, spatial, demographic, epigraphical, and literary evidence, Foxhall sheds light on households, families, life-cycles, legal and political institutions, beliefs about bodies, sex, and sexuality, and gender in different contexts. This book offers a nuanced understanding of how engendered practices influenced the economic, social, and cultural landscape of ancient societies. Through its interdisciplinary approach, Studying Gender in Classical Antiquity provides valuable insights into the ways in which our perceptions of gender have been shaped by later historical developments.
