Reviews
'Roman Girlhood and the Fashioning of Femininity offers a sustained and subtle account of a group only glimpsed fleetingly in the ancient sources.' Eve D'Ambra, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'Her scholarship is impressive ... This book will be of interest to those engaged more widely in women's studies as well as to those wishing to explore aspects of ancient Roman society in more depth. It is accessible and informative.' Marion Gibbs, Classics For All (www.classicsforall.org.uk)
'... the study harnesses an impressive array of primary literary and epigraphic sources presented in a manner that is accessible, well written, and makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of girlhood and femininity in the Roman context ... Roman Girlhood and the Fashioning of Femininity would easily have a place on the bookshelf of undergraduates embarking on Roman history studies as well as scholars particularly interested in feminist, childhood, and sexual history during the Roman period.' Hayley Stoneham, The Journal of Dress History
