Ancient Women
March is Women's History Month. In honor of Women's History, this newsletter will provide basic information on a month's worth of women from antiquity whose accomplishments or reputations (for good or evil) have survived. This is no small feat, since even more than in modern history, ancient women had a very small voice. Here are queens -- some of whom ruled in their own right or through children -- poets, courtesans, a philosopher, the exemplary Roman mother, Cornelia, and the equally notorious Clodia.Is your email box being filtered for spam?
