Women in Hellenistic Egypt,
This review is from: Women in Hellenistic Egypt: From Alexander to Cleopatra (Paperback)
After its conquest in 331 B.C., Egypt became the center of the Hellenistic world, attracting men and women from other parts of the Mediterranian area. In this cosmopolitan and moblie society, Greek women of the ruling class had unprecedented opportunities and were able to employ some legal freedoms enjoyed by their Egyptian counterparts.
Using evidence from a wide variety of sources including literature, papyri, inscriptions, coins, and terra-cotta figurines, Sarah Pomeroy discusses women ranging from queens such as Arsinoe II and Cleopatra VII to Jewish slaves working on a Greek estate. This edition [1990] contains a new forward, additional information, and an updated bibliography by the author. --- from book's back cover |
