Spoken Like a Woman

Speech and Gender in Athenian Drama.

In ancient Athens, where freedom of speech derived from the power of male citizenship, women's voices were seldom heard in public. Offering a study of women's speech in classical drama, the work explores the discursive practices attributed to women of fifth-century B. C. Greece and to what extent these representations reflected a larger reality.
