Books by Pomeroy

An account of the Greek family as a productive and reproductive social unit during the Hellenistic and Classical periods. The evidence for the work has been taken from literary, inscriptional, archeological, anthropological, and art historical evidence.

Sarah Pomeroy seeks to reconstruct the lives and the world of Sparta's women-including how their legal status changed over time and how they held on to their surprising autonomy. Written by one of the leading authorities on women in antiquity, this is the first full-length study of Spartan women.
