Roman Women: Their History and Habits by J.P.V.D. Balsdon (nonfiction)

I should have read Caesar's Wives and Women in the Ancient World first to understand more about how interpretations of the ancient sources have evolved.  Interpretations of the same text can be so different.  The author here is male, and makes some rather interesting chauvinistic remarks that could have been left out.  His descriptions of various groups of women in the second half of the book are fascinating and new to me.
