Description

This scholarly work explores the lives and roles of metic women in Classical Athens, moving beyond the narrow focus on sexual and reproductive labour that has dominated previous historical accounts. The book examines how immigrant women of various ethnic backgrounds navigated citizenship restrictions whilst contributing to Athenian society in economic and social capacities often overlooked by traditional scholarship. By analysing evidence from literature and historical sources, the author reconstructs the diverse experiences of metic women who were linked by ancient writers to assumptions of sexual exploitability, yet whose actual lives encompassed trade, household management, religious participation, and community integration. This volume challenges the oversimplified dichotomy between 'citizen wives' and 'common prostitutes' to reveal the complex social status and economic agency of foreign women in one of history's most influential cities. Part of the Routledge Studies in Ancient History series, it provides essential reading for students and scholars of ancient history, women's history, and classical civilisation.
