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.zRome991887 4aWomen in history991888  28aCRON CRON  2lcccBKn001  00102lcc40708NFICaAUWLbAUWLcGENd2026-07-27eDr. Dale Taylorl1oHQ1134 .S65 2025p033594q2026-08-20r2026-08-02 20:35:11s2026-08-02t01w2026-07-29yBK  c18755d18755  2
