Rezension

"This companion without doubt succeeds in its mission, while advocating for the further inclusion of women in antiquity in both scholarship and teaching." ( The Classical Journal , 3 May 2013)
"This is a fascinating study, one which will feed into much current thought and discussion, lead to more links being made between periods, between genres and opening up the world of the ancient woman to further scrutiny and understanding, perhaps even more scholarship." ( Reference Reviews , 1 October 2012)

Named CHOICE Outstanding Title for 2012
"While the scope of topics here is massive and not every subject has been covered, this is an invaluable compilation of great breadth and a valuable resource on an important, complex subject." ( Choice , 1 September 2012)
