Book Synopsis The Rhetoric of Gender Terms by : Francesca Santoro L'Hoir
Book excerpt: The aim of this work is to recover classical Roman assumptions about women on the basis of the surviving linguistic data. The resulting analysis throws light not only on Roman gender vocabulary but also on Roman cultural perceptions of class, moral worth and nationality.
