Synopsis
This book examines the daily lives of Roman women by focusing on the mundane and less celebrated aspects of daily life - family and household, work and leisure, worship and social obligations - of women of different social ranks. Using a variety of sources, including literary texts, letters, inscriptions, coins, tableware, furniture, and the fine arts, from the late Republic to the high Imperial period, Eve D'Ambra shows how these sources serve as objects of social analysis, rather than simply as documents that recreate how life was lived. She also demonstrates how texts and material objects take part in shaping realities and what they can tell us about the texture of lives and social attitudes, if not emotions of women in Roman antiquity.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Minor edgewear and a few stickers and annotations, otherwise a fine clean solid copy. Eve D'Ambra is the Agnes Rindge Claflin Professor of Art History at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, where she has taught since 1990. A recipient of the Rome Prize and a Fulbright Fellow, her scholarly focus is Roman sculpture and portraiture, with particular attention to imperial relief sculpture and the portraiture of women in the high imperial period. She is also the author of Roman Art, published by Cambridge University Press. Roman Women was published by Cambridge University Press in 2006 as part of the Cambridge Introduction to Roman Civilization series, a program designed for readers and students with no prior knowledge of Roman antiquity. It runs to 215 illustrated pages. The series was conceived as a companion to the Cambridge Latin Course, and D'Ambra's volume sits within that pedagogical mission while offering more analytical depth than a simple survey might suggest. The book is organized into four chapters. D'Ambra's central argument is that the sources available for studying Roman women ? literary texts, personal letters, inscriptions, coins, tableware, furniture, portrait sculpture, and the decorative arts ? should be treated not simply as windows onto lived experience but as objects of social analysis in their own right. Texts and material objects do not merely record attitudes toward women; they participate in shaping them. This distinction between reconstruction and analysis gives the book its scholarly edge. The second chapter covers marriage and family across twelve sub-topics, ranging from moral reform legislation and matchmaking to divorce, widowhood, and the social position of mistresses. D'Ambra draws on the love poetry of Catullus and Propertius alongside Egyptian papyri recording women managing agricultural estates in their husbands' absence, and the correspondence of Pliny the Younger to his wife Calpurnia. The third chapter examines the domestic arts, childrearing, personal grooming and adornment, and the experiences of women who worked as tradeswomen and vendors. D'Ambra's discussion of sculpted reliefs of saleswomen from Ostia is characteristic of the book's method: the reliefs show women presenting their goods attractively to customers while omitting the physically demanding work of obtaining and preparing those goods. The contrast between representation and reality, and what it reveals about elite male attitudes toward women in public commerce, is exactly the kind of analysis D'Ambra pursues throughout. The fourth chapter examines prominent women ? imperial wives, matriarchs, priestesses, and women of political influence ? to interrogate the clichés through which Roman sources represented female power, considering how portraits and monuments of exceptional women functioned as tools for managing public anxieties about female agency as much as celebrations of individuals. Reviewers noted that the book filled a genuine gap at the introductory level. The Bryn Mawr Classical Review recommended it as an immediate addition to texts most commonly assigned in courses on women in the ancient world, praising its clarity, rich illustration, and even-handedness ? acknowledging women's unequal status in Roman society without, as one reviewer put it, an overbearing axe to grind.
