Widows and Patriarchy: Ancient and Modern
Thomas A. J. McGinn
Begins with the view that ancient society was structured by a 'spectrum of statuses' and applies this insight to the position of women, primarily that of widows, in three historical periods. This book analyses the evidence to assess the value of this generalization and, to evaluate the position of widows in the societies under examination.
