Stephanie McCarter is so wonderful! The community effort of translators that went into this anthology pays off – with a thorough scope, a great introduction essay, and super helpful notes throughout. I can see this being super helpful in structuring a class about ancient women or ancient literature, and a great jumping board for anyone trying to get into ancient femininity but doesn’t know where to start.
