The author explores how women of the imperial family, including figures such as Livia, Messalina, Agrippina the Younger, and Julia, have often been portrayed negatively in traditional histories.

Smith argues that many Roman women were labeled as immoral, manipulative, or dangerous because ancient historical accounts were largely written from male perspectives. The book challenges these stereotypes and examines the ways women exercised power within a male-dominated political system. 4aWomenxHistory.zRome 4aWomen in history  28aCRON CRON  2
