| |  | | | In Brief
This study of violent female death in Greek tragedy "concentrates on women who commit suicide and virgin girls who are offered as a sacrifice. . . .{The author argues} that since death by another's hand is as frequent in tragedy for men as for women, it is in the 'suicide of wives and the sacrifice of virgins' that a distinction is made between the sexes in relation to death. . . . It was in such violent death, Loraux suggests, that 'a woman mastered her death, a death that was not simply the end of an exemplary life as a spouse' and so presented the audience with a contrast to everyday life." (N Y Rev Books) Index. Originally published in France in 1985.
