For centuries, half of the ancient world remained invisible. Until Sarah Pomeroyâe(tm)s enlightening history, the women of antiquity remained unknown to us. What did daily life hold for women in ancient Greece and Rome? How many women read the great histories of Herodotus and Thucydides? Did Socratesâe(tm) wife, Xanthippe, debate with her husband on issues of beauty and truth? Goddesses, Whores, Wives and Slaves is a foundational work of feminism, reconstructing the lives of these lost women of antiquity in order that we might better understand the roots of our own classically influenced society today.
