Women Classical Scholars: Unsealing the Fountain from the Renaissance to Jacqueline de Romilly is the first written history of the pioneering women born between the Renaissance and 1913 who played significant roles in the history of classical scholarship. Facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles from patriarchal social systems and educational institutionsfrom learning Latin and Greek as a marginalized minority, to being excluded from institutional support, denigrated for being lightweight or overambitious, and working in the shadows of husbands, fathers, and brothersthey nevertheless continued to teach, edit, translate, analyse, and elucidate the texts left to us by the ancient Greeks and Romans.In this volume, 20 essays by international leaders in the field chronicle the lives of women from around the globe who have shaped the discipline over more than 500 years. Arranged in broadly chronological order from the Italian, Iberian, and Portuguese Renaissance through to the Stalinist Soviet Union and occupied France, they synthesize illuminating overviews of the evolution of classical scholarship with incisive casestudies into often overlooked key figures: some, like Madame Anne Dacier, were already famous in their home countries but have been neglected in previous, malecentered accounts, while others have been almost completely lost to the mainstream cultural memory. This book identifies and celebrates themtheir frustrations, achievements, and lasting records; in so doing it provides the classical scholars of today, regardless of gender, with the female intellectual ancestors they did not know they had.
