It has long been known that the city-states of Ancient Greece differed widely in their laws relating to the rights, and the disabilities, of women, in regard to property, inheritance, dowry and trade. This book, however, is the first full-length study of this fascinating subject. The author is a legal historian who is also a classicist and who has mastered the evidence which -- Athens apart -- is almost purely epigraphic and very difficult to interpret. The book is not merely a contribution to ancient legal history but should interest students of social history of any civilization and all sociologists interested in the position of women in antiquity.
