A dame is a dame

This book is a fascinating compendium of women in Greek and Roman Egypt. It's easy to read and full of detail about the women who lived in these worlds. When you read about the personal lives, you are struck by the fact that not that much has changed: women back then met a guy, got married, had kids, and then they died. Sound familiar? And then you can't help but ask, is that all there is? There are helpful maps and a glossary.
