Modern scholarship often defines Roman women in terms of their difference from men, seeing them as ‘other’. This work analyzes both well-known, and overlooked, passages from the writings of Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Suetonius, Quintilian, Statius, Martial and Juvenal. It sheds a new light on contemporary views of women and their abilities.
