| Opplysninger | AUC history : women and the art of exemplary storytelling -- Gendered collectives in Livy : the agmen mulierum and independent female demonstrations in AUC history -- The rhetoric of the unfamiliar other : non-Roman women in AUC history -- Topoi, tropes and the female : the rhetorical memory of the annalist tradition -- Final observations.. - "Livy's Women explores the profound questions arising from the presence of women of influence and power in the socio-political canvas of one of the most important histories of Rome and the Roman people, Ab Urbe Condita (From the Foundation of the City). This theoretically informed study of Livy's monumental narrative charts the fascinating links between episodes containing references to women in prominent roles and the historian's treatment of Rome's evolutionary foundation story. Explicitly gendered in relation to the socio-cultural contexts informing the narrative, the author's background, the literary landscape of Livy's Rome, and the subsequent historiographical commentary, this volume offers a comprehensive, coherent and contextualised overview of all episodes in Ab Urbe Condita relating to women as agents of historical change. As well as proving invaluable insights into socio-cultural history for Classicists, Livy's Women will also be of interest to instructors, researchers, and students of female representation in history in general"--
