Women and the Law in the Roman Empire Summary

Women and the Law in the Roman Empire: A Sourcebook on Marriage, Divorce and Widowhood by Judith Evans Grubbs

Student-focused - includes the full range of both well and lesser known legal sources on women, with exceptionally clear commentary and explanation

Women in the ancient world are a core classics topic on undergraduate courses both in the UK and USA. Will be an essential reading list item for these students.

Comprehensive coverage - essential purchase for classics and law libraries as well as institutions teaching gender/women's history.

Coverage of lesser known evidence from Egypt, late antique writers, Christian literature and non-Italian provinces makes this a worthwhile purchase for advanced scholars too.

'Exceptionally useful as a core text as well as a reference guide it will be a valuable part of allteaching and research collections devoted of the study of women and the
family in antiquity.'
