Volume 1 of Woman in All Ages and in All Countries. First published in 1907. Six illustrations. The author was Professor of Classical Philology at George Washington University. According to the Preface: “It is the purpose of this volume to give a simple sketch of the history of Greek womanhood from the Heroic Age down to Roman times, so far as it can be gathered from ancient Greek literature and from other available sources for a knowledge of antique life. Greek civilization was essentially a masculine one; and it is really remarkable how scant are the references to feminine life in Greek writers, and how few books have been written by modern scholars on this subject.”
