Naked Truths - Women, Sexuality and Gender in Classical Art and Archaeology

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.
