Citizen Bacchae
By: Goff, Barbara E.
Published by: University of California Press
What activities did the women of ancient Greece perform in the sphere of ritual, and what were the meanings of such activities for them and their culture?

A comprehensive and sophisticated investigation of the ritual roles of women in ancient Greece, it draws on a wide range of evidence from across the Greek world, including literary and historical texts, inscriptions, and vase-paintings, to assemble a portrait of women as religious and cultural agents, despite the ideals of seclusion within the home and exclusion from public arenas that we know restricted their lives.
