Sheridan, Jennifer A., “Not at a Loss for Words: The Economic Power of Literate Women in Late Antique Egypt,” Transactions of the American Philological Association 128 (1998) 189-204 [During the late third and early fourth centuries C.E., a number of literate women from the Egyptian city of Hermopolis appear in the papyri. As the women have a number of things in common, particularly their social class, this appears to be more than a coincidence. This article explores these women through the best-known member of the group, Aurelia Charite, and argues that the women used their literacy to protect their economic interests. This paper is aimed at an audience of classicists rather than specialists in papyrology.] / full text
