Esther Eidinow is Assistant Professor in Ancient Greek History at the University of Nottingham.
Eidinow's exploration of the trials of women enriches our understanding of social and legal processes that affected all Athenians, citizen status males or otherwise ... Eidinow's meticulous detail ... binds together our fragmentary glimpses of women's lives into a compelling account of the complex intersections of private and public speech, imagined and realized actions and threats, and unofficial religion and civic legal institutions, in a vivid picture of Athens.
