Book Synopsis
Images are like texts influenced by their cultural environment. To decode their code and at the same time to liberate it from the guardianship of the text interpretation, the authors of this volume have made the task. They explore the question of the role of images in the reconstruction of women's history in antiquity. The answers range from fundamental interpretations of ancient images from a gender-oriented perspective to the exploration of more specific topics such as the portrayal of nudity or the woman as ruler, mother or priestess. "Images and Gender" is a unique groundbreaking collection of the latest gender research on the subject Iconography of Egypt, Palestine and Israel as well as Greek and Roman antiquity.
