Gender and communication in Euripides' plays : between song and silence / by J.H. Kim On Chong-Gossard.

In Greek tragedy, women constantly struggle to control language. This book shows how aspects of women's communication-song, silence and secret-keeping as female verbal genres, and the challenges of speaking out of place-constitute a decisive factor in Euripides' portrayal of gender.
