Review:
"The pages of Snyder’s text are filled with stirring revelations about women’s achievements." Susan C. Jarratt, Composition Chronicle
"The discussion of this tradition not only encompasses a vast historical span, but requires a significant degree of both historical and literary reconstruction. Snyder is more than equal to the task, and the result is a volume that is informative, entertaining, and impressive for its command of the scholarly literature. . . . Specialists in the field will want to take this work seriously. General readers will be much enriched by it." M. B. Arthur, Choice
Jane McIntosh Snyder, professor of classics at The Ohio State University, is the author of Puns and Poetry in Lucretius’ "De Rerum Natura" and (with Martha Maas) of Stringed Instruments of Ancient Greece.
