Shakespeare:the Early Writings: The Early Writings Book

Very interesting and detailed book which covers the history of Rome from its mythological beginnings until the late empire. The first part of the book deals mainly with historical,characters, mainly empresses and noble women. The second part of the book deals with daily life, describing marriage customs, domestic life, children, religious life, divorce etc. Originally published in 1962, when there weren't very many books exclusively devoted to women's history, there's a lot of useful information here.
