Summary

"Nicole Loraux brilliantly elucidates how Athenian politics were 'gendered' in the Classical period. She investigates the Athenian state's interdiction of ritualized mourning by women . . . (and) . . . illuminates . . . the institutional suppression of women as a political and social force in the most flourishing period of Athenian history".--Laura M. Slatkin, University of Chicago.
