{"product_id":"among-women-nancy-sorkin-rabinowitz-9780292719460","title":"Among Women: From the Homosocial to the Homoerotic in the Ancient World","description":"\u003cp\u003e Women's and men's worlds were largely separate in ancient Mediterranean societies, and, in consequence, many women's deepest personal relationships were with other women. Yet relatively little scholarly or popular attention has focused on women's relationships in antiquity, in contrast to recent interest in the relationships between men in ancient Greece and Rome. The essays in this book seek to close this gap by exploring a wide variety of textual and archaeological evidence for women's homosocial and homoerotic relationships from prehistoric Greece to fifth-century CE Egypt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing on developments in feminist theory, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, as well as traditional textual and art historical methods, the contributors to this volume examine representations of women's lives with other women, their friendships, and sexual subjectivity. They present new interpretations of the evidence offered by the literary works of Sappho, Ovid, and Lucian; Bronze Age frescoes and Greek vase painting, funerary reliefs, and other artistic representations; and Egyptian legal documents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292719469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292719460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946387833087,"sku":"9780292719460","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c7948b14-c8e8-4d97-8e87-37d28d902b5a.jpg?v=1681512861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/among-women-nancy-sorkin-rabinowitz-9780292719460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
