202pp. Indexed. Lightly illustrated. Green cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to spine. In a laminated, illustrated dust jacket (gentle shelf wear and a couple of indentations). Aspasia of Miletus was a courtesan, teacher and political adviser to her lover Pericles. In the first study of its type, Henry combines traditional philological and historical methods of analysis with feminine critical perspectives to trace the construction of Aspasia's biological tradition from ancient times to the present day.
