Title: HORRIBLE!!!
Review: This is probably the worst book I have ever started reading. Never ever in my life had I left the book unfinished. But with this one, I simply couldn't afford to waste my time. I hoped to find a decent scholarly work on some of the most important women of old. But the criterion for the author seemed to be ANY mentioning of ANY woman in ancient documents. And needless to say, most of them are just a little bit more (or not even that) than your regular "street girl". I kept asking myself who did she write this book for? Who was her target audience? Her language is mediocre, vulgar and tedious. Did she want to be funny?! As someone has already said, it's a shame that she conducted such a serious research only to publish something that no historian will ever consider worth studying. Simply, it was an ordeal to read. Thank God I didn't waste my money on it. It was given to me as a present.
