Women Writers of Ancient Greece and Rome: An AnthologyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fantastic reference book, filled with 55 entries of Greek & Roman women writers. Each entry has a wonderful introduction with many references, the extant work (or a sampling for those whose work has survived in quantity), and endnotes. I’d heard of only a few of these women, so I was very happy to be introduced to so many more. Their work still resonates today. I have to add, though, that whenever I read things like this, I always weep for how many works we have lost from antiquity.
