Ferrari has given us an ambitious, compelling book that will challenge its readers to rethink some of the prevailing contemporary views of gender and sexuality in ancient Greece., [Ferrari] directs readers' attention to the imagery of women's prenuptial, marital, and domestic activities, to the representation of manliness and physical beauty as positive concepts, the meaning of the discrepancy between clothed females and nude males, and to the definition of gender roles . . . Her ambitious, subtle argument relies on her close analysis of artistic figuration, complemented by contemporary texts., Ferrari [presents] a detailed and serious study of the science of communication as applied to the visual representation of the masculine and feminine. In doing so, she makes a valuable contribution not only to gender studies, but also to art history as well. . . . Ferrari's book is perhaps the most explicit and comprehensive utilization of language theory to art analysis. She offers a refreshing re-ordering of the scholarly agenda way from connoisseurship towards a sociological understanding of art. . . . Emblematic of the failure to recognize the richness of domestic imagery is the scholarly treatment of the 'spinning woman' motif on Greek vases. . . . Ferrari demonstrates the unrecognized richness of the imagery and its component elements (footed chest, wool basket, spindle, mantle, etc.). Anchoring each element within its respective nest of associations, allusions, and connotations, she shows the way in which the images play with the central constituent elements of the feminine., "Ferrari [presents] a detailed and serious study of the science of communication as applied to the visual representation of the masculine and feminine.
