description: In this book Greene addresses the long-established, stereotypical views of gender relationships within Latin love poetry. Through the poetry of Catullus, Propertius and ovid, she looks at the study of male-female relationships, sexuality, power and social status. Her study represents a shift away from the 'woman oriented' feminist research of past years, with a more integral analysis of the social processes, and social contexts, which produce and govern relationships between the sexes.
