 Women and Society in the Roman World: A Sourcebook of Inscriptions from the Roman West by Emily A. Hemelrijk 2020 | ISBN: 1107142458 | English | 368 pages | True PDF | 28 MB By their social and material context as markers of graves, dedications and public signs of honour, inscriptions offer a distinct perspective on the social lives, occupations, family belonging, mobility, ethnicity, religious affiliations, public honour and legal status of Roman women ranging from slaves and freedwomen to women of the elite and the imperial family, both in Rome and in Italian and provincial towns. They thus shed light on women who are largely overlooked by the literary sources. The wide range of inscriptions and graffiti included in this book show women participating not only in their families and households but also in the social and professional life of their cities. Moreover, they offer us a glimpse of women's own voices. Marital ideals and problems, love and hate, friendship, birth and bereavement, joy and hardship all figure in inscriptions, revealing some of the richness and variety of life in the ancient world.  Women and Religion in the First Christian Centuries By Deborah F. Sawyer 1996 | 195 Pages | ISBN: 0415107482 | PDF | 3 MB Women and Religion in the First Christian Centuries focuses on religion during the period of Roman imperial rule and its significance in women's lives. Discussing the rich variety of religious expression, from pagan cults and classical mythology to ancient Judaism and early Christianity, and the wide array of religious functions fulfilled by women, the author analyzes key examples from each context, creating a vivid image of this crucial period which laid the foundations of Western civilization.This study challenges the concepts of religion and of women in the light of postmodern critique. As such, it is an important contribution to contemporary gender theory. In its broad and interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of interest to students of early religion as well as those interested in cultural theory.

 What to Eat, and How to Cook It: Preserving, Canning and Drying Fruits and Vegetables (The American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection) by Joseph Cowan English | October 15, 2013 | ISBN: 1449455107 | PDF | 134 pages | 13.9 MB Cowan's earlier works dealt with sexual hygiene and the evils of tobacco, but in What to Eat, and How to Cook It he turned to diet. Food and culinary practice had become more complex in American middle-class society by 1870, and Cowan's cookbook blasted his countrymen for eating "conglomerate mixtures," ingredients "mixed in all shapes, in all measures, and under all conditions." He believed that overly manipulated, processed foods led to a "clogged brain" and a "sickly and unenjoyable life." His conclusion was that, "To live a sweet healthy life implies the use of simple, nutritious food, cooked in a plain, simple manner, and as nearly in its natural relations as possible."
