Boudicca's heirs

First published: 2005

Description

"Dorothy Watts aims to unearth the lives of women in early Britain by detailed analyses of the known female burials. These cut across the pre-Roman and Roman periods and thus stress the continuities of women's lives rather than the political changes. This is the first such study and is based on data from more than 40 cemeteries spanning six centuries."--Jacket.
