One of ancient Rome's most significant legacies is a legal framework for hereditary slavery. Under the Roman principle that would come to be known as partus sequitur ventrem (the offspring follows the womb), enslaved women bore enslaved children regardless of the identity of the child's father. For centuries, across the globe, this legal doctrine was invoked to justify control over enslaved women's reproductive labor.

Obwohl Geburten zentral für unser gesellschaftliches Zusammenleben und Fortbestehen sind, bleiben konkrete Erfahrungen des Geborenwerdens und Gebärens oft im Dunkeln und werden im öffentlichen Diskurs häufig als »Nischenthema« oder spezielle Ausnahmeerfahrung mit begrenzter gesellschaftlicher Relevanz diskutiert.

Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero - these are the names history associates with the early Roman Empire. Yet, not a single one of these emperors was the blood son of his predecessor. In this captivating history, a prominent scholar of the era documents the Julio-Claudian women whose bloodline, ambition, and ruthlessness made it possible for the emperors' line to continue. Eminent scholar Guy de la Bedoyere, author of Praetorian, asserts that the women behind the scenes - including Livia, Octavia, and the elder and younger Agrippina - were the true backbone of the dynasty.

Med sine tanker om kvinnen som selvstendig individ med økonomisk og arbeidsmessig uavhengighet, fikk boken en banebrytende betydning for kvinnefrigjørelsen, og er fortsatt et sentralt verk i feminismen og den feministiske litteraturkritikken.

In AD 60/61, Rome almost lost the province of Britain to a woman. Boudica, wife of the client king Prasutagus, fomented a rebellion that proved catastrophic for Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London), and Verulamium (St. Albans), destroyed part of a Roman legion, and caused the deaths of an untold number of veterans, families, soldiers, and Britons. Yet with one decisive defeat, her vision of freedom was destroyed, and the Iceni never rose again. Boudica: Warrior Woman of Roman Britain introduces listeners to the life and literary importance of Boudica.
