Like Man, Like Woman: Roman Women, Gender Qualities And Conjugal Relationships At The Turn Of The First Century

Modern scholarship often defines Roman women in terms of their difference from men, seeing them as 'other'. This work analyzes both well-known, and overlooked, passages from the writings of Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Suetonius, Quintilian, Statius, Martial and Juvenal. It sheds a new light on contemporary views of women and their abilities.
