Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Biography & Autobiography. History. Women's Studies. Nonfiction. HTML:<b>From the acclaimed author of <i>A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum</i> comes a wildly entertaining new history of Rome that uses the lives of 21 extraordinary women to upend our understanding of the ancient world.</b><br /> <br /> The history of Rome has long been narrow and one-sided, essentially a history of "The Doing of Important Things," and as far as Roman historians have been concerned, women don't make that history. From Romulus through "the political stab-fest of the late Republic," and then on to all the emperors, Roman historians may deign to give you a wife or a mother to show how bad things become when women get out of control, but history is more than that.<br /> <br /> Emma Southon's <i>A Rome of One's Own</i> is the best kind of correction. This is a retelling of the history of Rome with all the things Roman history writers relegate to the background, or designate as domestic, feminine, or worthless. This is a history of women who caused outrage, led armies in rebellion, wrote poetry; who lived independently or under the thumb of emperors. Told with humor and verve as well as a deep scholarly background, <i>A Rome of One's Own</i> highlights women overlooked and misunderstood, and through them offers a fascinating and groundbreaking chronicle of the ancient world.
