520 1 $a"Women's history and histories of the body and sexuality in antiquity can be written for much earlier civilisations than those of ancient Greece and Rome. Women of Babylon investigates the representation of women and the concepts of femininity and sex that prevailed in ancient Mesopotamia, providing the first book-length study of its kind on an ancient Near Eastern culture.".
520 8 $a"The work provides a useful overview of feminist theory as it has developed over the past three decades in the areas of art history and archaeology and also offers a clear exposition of current feminist debates. The relationship of postmodernism, poststructuralism, post-colonialism and feminist theory is analysed, as well as the question of their relevance to the study of antiquity. These discussions should be useful for students of antiquity in general.
520 8 $aThe author also outlines a framework for an entirely new methodology in the study of women and gender in Near Eastern antiquity."--BOOK JACKET.
