A book edited by Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz, Among Women: From the Homosocial to the Homoerotic in the Ancient World, to which she also contributed, has received a positive review in the recent Bryn Mawr Classical Review (9/14/02).
The reviewer, Barbara Goff of the University of Reading, calls the book "substantial and impressive," and says "Nancy Rabinowitz's Introduction does an excellent job of dancing through what she rightly calls the 'minefield' of the critical terminology surrounding matters of gender and identity. Her skilful assemblage and analysis helpfully describe the various political and theoretical positions taken by feminism, women's studies, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory towards women's attachments to each other."
Professor of Classics Shelley Haley was also among contributors to the book, with an essay titled 'Lucian's "Leaena and Clonarium"; voyeurism or a challenge to assumptions?'
