Hello friends,

I am thinking of one book in particular, but cannot recall what it was. Either way, I am fascinated by this subject in general and would appreciate any recommendations.

I have been excited about these questions ever since reading a paper on how Sappho's poetry could have been primarily intended to sensualize the consciousness of young women in preparation for marriage absent the constant presence of men in their lives due to the gender segregation of ancient Greece. I mention this not as a clue to what the book I'm asking for is about, but just because I think the idea is really good.
