- This 436-page monograph develops a new and methodologically rich approach to three fourth-century Attic speeches from trials against women. It focuses on reconstructing not the legal merits of each case, but developments in deeper historical forces of which such trials were one manifestation. Specifically, the book deploys sociological and psychological research on topics such as gossip, responses to threat, and witchcraft. It thereby proposes new insights into the social history of classical Athens, the perceived power of women in ancient Greece, and the history of emotions.
