"This important collection makes available to students and scholars a vast trove of letters attributed to women that is unparalleled in the ancient world. These documents were written on papyrus and ostraca and appear here in English translation . . . For senior scholars to publish a collection like this one is an act of altruism for which all who study women must be grateful."
—Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"This valuable collection makes available in English translation all letters written by women in Egypt from the reign of Alexander to the end of the Greco-Coptic period in the late eighth century. In bringing these artifacts to a broader audience in such a clear and conscientious manner, the editors of this work have done a great service."
—Bret Mulligan, The Journal of Hellenic Studies
