With this purpose in mind I have tried to examine all published inscriptions which relate directly or indirectly to women  individually or collectively.  A careful reading of them has not brought to light any fact contrary to our knowledge of the manner of life or position in society of Athenian women derived from literary and artistic sources; but from them we gain confirmation and copious illustration of knowledge acquired by other means  as well as a vivid picture  composed of accumulated details  of the everyday occupations of women at home and abroad  of their religion and superstitions  their family relationships and public honors.  And although not many new facts have been added to our knowledge by the inscriptions  they effect a decided change in the view which is given by Greek literature alone. We recall Pericles' speech after the first year of the Peloponnesian war - a speech full of the deepest feeling for youth  for the loss inflicted upon the state and upon the family  but harsh  even to a shocking degree  toward the bereaved mothers and wives of the dead; yet in Pericles  because of his association with Aspasia  a different attitude might well have been expected.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52437625274648,"sku":"9798890960443","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52437625307416,"sku":"9781631828362","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/71CD-lBBQ5L._SL1360.jpg?v=1784923710","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/a-study-of-women-in-attic-inscriptions-mcclees","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
