Author Name
Mary E Naples (Author)
After earning a BS in psychology from Arizona State University, Mary Naples pursued a career in high-tech sales and recruiting before resigning in order to fulfill a lifelong dream of continuing her education. Long fascinated with the ancient world, Mary went on to earn an MA in Humanities with an emphasis in Women’s Studies from Dominican University of California. While at Dominican, she discovered a deep enthusiasm for unearthing stories about ancient women that have long ago been buried.Since graduating in 2013, she has been a contributing writer for Classical Wisdom Weekly— an online periodical about the classical world, and began writing for another online periodical, Ancient Origins, in 2018. In addition to writing, Mary has also given several webinars for both publications—you can see her webinars and read her published articles on her website: www.femminaclassica.com. When she is not writing about the ancient world, Mary enjoys working at her local library. She lives with her husband in Sausalito California. There she has a collection of books on the classical world, a garden with a 5-circuit stone labyrinth, and a Greek-styled temple. Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Who were the unsung heroes? Seldom seen and rarely heard, in the hyper-patriarchal ancient world, women were only written about when they were maligned. This anthology of twenty-five articles finally places ancient women front and center.

The articles range from historical to mythological, although in the ancient world the boundaries between fact and fiction are not always clear-cut. Through extensive research and analysis, Mary Naples has unearthed women's stories chronologically beginning from the dawn of ancient Greece to the last vestiges of the Roman Empire.

Some questions the chapters deliberate are the following. Were the Amazons mythological or historical? Does Cleopatra deserve the slander the Roman chroniclers heaped upon her? Further afield, did the ancient Israelites worship a female deity in the name of Asherah.

In other words, did God have a wife? These questions and many more are considered, deliberated, and fully referenced. .
