Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culture: Differential Equations: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culture: Differential Equations" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Women and Slaves in Classical Culture examines how ancient societies were organized around slave-holding and the subordination of women to reveal how women and slaves interacted with one another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of the Greco-Roman world.
The contributors explore a broad range of evidence including:
* the mythical constructions of epic and drama
* the love poems of Ovid
* the Greek medical writers
* Augustines autobiography
* a haunting account of an unnamed Roman slave
* the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens.
They argue that the distinctions between male and female and servile and free were inextricably connected.
This erudite and well-documented book provokes questions about how we can hope to recapture the experience and subjectivity of ancient women and slaves and addresses the ways in which femaleness and servility interacted with other forms of difference, such as class, gender and status. Women and Slaves in Classical Culture offers a stimulating and frequently controversial insight into the complexities of gender and status in the Greco-Roman world.

CONTENTS

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This volume originated in a panel organized by the Women's Classical Caucus at the Annual Meeting of the American Philological Association in Atlanta in December 1994. We want to thank the steering committee of the WCC for its sponsorship of the project, and especially Judith Hallett for suggesting that the two of us should work on it together. In putting the manuscript in final form, we have benefited from the editorial and computer skills of Adam Breindel and from funds supplied by the University of Pennsylvania. We are indebted to Catherine Connors and James A. Klein for their support and advice and to Carlin Barton, Hugh Gordon, Holly Haynes, Amy Richlin, and Brent Shaw for insightful comments on various drafts of our Introduction. We are especially grateful to our contributors for their patience, their openness to discussion, and their intellectual energy. In honor of our rewarding experience as co-editors, we have chosen each to dedicate the book to a friend and scholar with whom we have enjoyed the pleasures of collaboration on other projects.

S.R.J. and S.H.M.
