Greek Women

"Greek Women" by Mitchell Carroll, explores the often unseen world of women in ancient Greece, from the days of heroes to the Roman era using the literature of the time. The book argues that women have always had a big effect on history, claiming they are key to how societies turn out. The author begins by asserting that women's actions are noted by extremes, whether good or bad. Carroll uses stories from history and literature to highlight individual Greek women, showing their special contributions and stressing that we need to understand women's experiences to truly understand the entire history of Greece.
