'Hemelrijk (Univ. of Amsterdam, the Netherlands) has produced a remarkably informative and useful work ... what makes the book particularly valuable to scholars as well as students is the separate downloadable PDF (available on the publisher's website) of the original Greek and Latin texts of all the inscriptions, edited in accordance with modern epigraphical conventions. Anyone interested in the ancient world will learn much from this excellent work ... Highly recommended.' M. J. Johnson, Choice Magazine 'There is a great deal of pleasure and a wealth of information to be derived from Women and Society in the Roman World ... Hemelrijk's carefully curated and annotated collection of inscriptions fill a longstanding lacuna. Her sourcebook places front and centre the integral role of epigraphy as a rich reservoir of socio-historical and cultural detail about women extending beyond the strictly delimited stratum of elite and imperial households into all sectors of the ancient - and, in this case, Roman - world.' Peter Keegan, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
