Athenian Woman

'This a very helpful book, written with deep and genuine conviction and scholarship' - Richard Hawley, University of London'[The book encourages] us to think carefully about provenance in our interpretation of the vases and to use caution in our categorization of themes and images ... L[ewis] has done a tremendous service by calling attention to this lacuna in the scholarship.' - BMCR'This is essential reading for anyone remotely interested in Greek social history, art and archaeology, or gender studies ... I shall certainly be putting it on a number of undergraduate reading lists.' - JACT Review'Its arguments, methodologies, and ideological position are clearly and energetically articulated-a fun book to argue about with students.'-Adele C. Scafuro, Brown University (American Journal of Archaeology April 2007)
