Good information but....
This book provides some really good information about women who lived in ancient times and does not confine itself to Greek and Roman woman some famous and/or infamous Hebrew ladies are included such as Alexandra and Bernice. However, the plethora of typos detract from the enjoyment of this book.

Need reference to ancient Greek or Roman women?,
This review is from: Biographical Dictionary of Ancient Greek and Roman Women: Notable Women from Sappho to Helena (Paperback)
This dictionary provides a biography of a wealth of Roman and Greek women (my personal interest was in the Romans).It also cites the ancient texts wherein the ladies are mentioned. This can be very helpful for the student, researcher, historian, or fiction writer. Did you know there were several women named Cornelia in Rome? Did you know that the Spartan queen, wife of King Leonidas (of 300 fame) was named Gorgo and is actually mentioned by Herodotus? Did you know that the name Cleopatra was used in Macedonia as well as in Egypt? Even if one is just a curious reader, this Dictionary will provide lots of information about what is often a lesser-known area of the ancient world--not simply about the women of the time, but specific women who figured prominently in events of their time.
