Reviews / Votes
"A much-needed survey of women writers in antiquity."-Rochelle Snee, Religious Studies Review"The pages of Snyder's text are filled with stirring revelations about women's achievements."-Susan C. Jarratt, Composition Chronicle "The discussion of this tradition not only encompasses a vast historical span, but requires a significant degree of both historical and literary reconstruction. Snyder is more than equal to the task, and the result is a volume that is informative, entertaining, and impressive for its command of the scholarly literature. . . . Specialists in the field will want to take this work seriously. General readers will be much enriched by it."-M. B. Arthur, Choice
