Unsung Heroes: Women in the Ancient World
Unsung Heroes: Women in the Ancient World is available on Amazon.
Who were the unsung heroes? Seldom seen and rarely heard, in the hyper patriarchal ancient world, the only women written about were those who were maligned. This anthology of twenty-five articles finally places ancient women front and center. The essays range from historical to mythological–although in the ancient world the boundaries between fact and fiction were not always clear-cut.
