  • The Ring of Truth. And Other Myths of Sex and Jewelry. Oxford University Press, 2017. 424p. Hardback. Doniger's exploration of the ring's symbolism as a manacle that binds a woman to a man is particularly insightful, as is her witty deconstruction of the modern myth of the diamond engagement ring that proves to have much more to do with savvy marketing than any enduring romantic tradition.
