Reviews
The evidence Lefkowitz provides in the new chapters bolsters her claims and makes this edition a necessary replacement of the former.
An intelligent, readable, and useful analysis of the issues bearing on the status of women in ancient myth and society.
Exemplifies the characteristics of philological mastery, poetic insight, historical understanding, and lucid style that we have come to expect in a book by Mary Lefkowitz.
A smashing book in every sense of the word.
