Editorial Reviews

Review

` ... should be a permanent reference book for the scholar. What could have been an overwhelmingly erudite volume becomes in the writing of Jane Gardner a most lucid and readable text. Students and teachers will find in this book a reliable guide to the exploration of women's position in the Roman world.' - Ancient History

`Shows convincingly how concern for the interests of the family and its property lies at the base of many of the legal provisions concerning women ... Dr Gardner writes with clarity and touches of wit.' - The Times --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
