Spoken Like a Woman: Speech and Gender in Athenian Drama
Laura McClure
In ancient Athens, where freedom of speech derived from the power of male citizenship, women's voices were seldom heard in public. Female speech was more often represented in theatrical productions through women characters written and enacted by men. This book studies women's speech in classical drama.
