Professor Ancona and Alumna Revisit Professor Pomeroy's Landmark Study

December 21, 2021

Ronnie Ancona

Nearly 50 years ago, former Hunter College and Graduate Center Distinguished Professor Sarah Pomeroy published Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves, a landmark study of women in classical antiquity that firmly placed women’s studies within classical scholarship. In their new co-edited volume, New Directions in the Study of Women in the Greco-Roman World, Ronnie Ancona, a professor of classics at Hunter and the Graduate Center, and Georgia Tsouvala ‘99, an alumna of Hunter and the Graduate Center and a professor of history at Illinois State University, build on that work. Featuring contributions by major scholars, the book includes essays that focus on subjects as far-ranging as women’s roles in activism and legislation, the social power of non-elite women, and women’s achievements in athletics.

Ancona recently spoke to the Graduate Center about the inspiration behind the new book.
