STRATTON, K. B. K., Daughters of Hecate. Women and Magic in the Ancient World. Oxford University Press, 2014. 552p. Paperback. This impressive collection challenges the seemingly common-sense association between women and magic. Drawing on literary and material evidence from across the ancient Mediterranean world, it powerfully demonstrates that the gendering of magic is neither natural nor universal, but is conditioned by the dynamics of local conflict and given form by historically specific taxonomies of knowledge.
