Naked Truths:

Women, Sexuality, and Gender in Classical Art and Archaeology
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Routledge Chapman & Hall, 2000 - Social Science - 315 pages
The articles in Naked Truths demonstrate the application of feminist theory to a diverse repertory of classical art: they offer topical and controversial readings on the material culture of the ancient Mediterranean. This volume presents a timely, provocative and beautifully illustrated re-evaluation of how the issues of gender, identity and sexuality reveal 'naked truths' about fundamental human values and social realities, through the compelling symbolism of the body.
