herself a Spartan. Written by one of the leading authorities on women in antiquity, Spartan Women
reconstructs the lives and the world of Sparta's women, including how theirstatus changed over time and
how they held on to their surprising autonomy. Proceeding through the archaic, classical, Hellenistic, and
Roman periods, Spartan Women includes discussions of education, family life, reproduction, religion,
