Description

Book Synopsis
By considering women's voices in performance, this book provides a fresh perspective on women's 'writing'. It shows that our understanding of femininity in ancient Greece can be expanded by going beyond poetry composed by women poets like Sappho to explore girls' and women's choral songs from the archaic period.

Trade Review
"Most books on women in Greece concentrate on one feature: women poets, women's lives, women in tragedy. Klinck brings all these threads together." M. Eleanor Irwin, classics, University of Toronto "A wonderful book ... Klinck adds interesting parallels from medieval and other traditions that are not generally known to classicists." Andre P. Lardinois, classics, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen
