Yet Spartan women were in many ways among the most liberated of the ancient world, receiving formal instruction in poetry, music, dance, and physical education. And the most famous of mythic Greek women, Helen of Troy, was originally a Spartan. Written by one of the leading authorities on women in antiquity, <em>Spartan Women</em> seeks to reconstruct the lives and the world of Spartas women, including how their legal status changed over time and how they held on to their surprising autonomy. In this book, Sarah Pomeroy covers over a thousand years in the lives of Spartas women from both the lite and lower classes. This is the first book-length examination of Spartan women, and Pomeroy comprehensively analyzes ancient texts and archaeological evidence to construct the history of these elusive though much noticed women. <em>Spartan Women</em> is an authoritative and fresh account that will appeal to all readers interested in ancient history and womens studies.</p>...1388178Spartan Women794882https://www.gandhi.com.mx/spartan-women-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/166725/040cb13e-376c-4c95-99a3-eb550c40f895.jpg?v=638333662177130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20029780199880997_W3siaWQiOiJiNWVkMTRjNi05NThhLTRmMDAtYTM0OC1iN2FhZDI2M2RiZDAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjg1OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjg2LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjc3MywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780199880997_<p>This is the first book-length examination of Spartan women, covering over a thousand years in the history of women from both the elite and lower classes. Classicist Sarah B. Pomeroy comprehensively analyzes ancient texts and archaeological evidence to construct the world of these elusive though much noticed females. Sparta has always posed a challenge to ancient historians because information about the society is relatively scarce. Most existing scholarship on Sparta concerns the military history of the city and its heavily male-dominated social structure--almost as if there were no women in Sparta.
