  Most history books contain information about men, but that is only half the story. This book describes how women in ancient Rome were allowed little formal power in society, but, even in the homes of the ruling families, exerted power behind the scenes, within their family circles. It provides quotes from found pieces of writing and case studies of famous women as well as photographs of ancient artefacts, prints, manuscripts and artworks.
