Archaeologist Eleni Parianou forewords.

The book is divided into 17 sections, each of which contains biographical information or simple references of distinguished Ancient Greek women under the corresponding title of the section. The sections (chapters) are: a) Astronomers, b) Queens – Wives of Kings, c) Distinguished women due to kinship or various relationships and occupations, d) Visual Artists (Painters, Sculptors), e) Partners, f) Physicians – Pharmacologists – Midwives, g) Priestesses – Hierophants – Mysteries, h) Beauties, i) Mathematicians, j) Fortune Tellers – Sibyls, k) Winners of Sports Games, l) Organists – Singers – Dancers, m) Poets – Writers, n) Warriors – Heroines – Amazons, n) Rare specialties, p) Philosophers, q) Natural Scientists.

The author set aside the patriarchal prejudices of the writers and historians of Greek antiquity and, gathering scattered and contradictory information, brought to light, after many years of research, a large number of female positive scientists.

The 14th section, which contains female warriors, heroines and Amazons, presents great originality.

The 15th unit is also of great interest, which contains rare specialties and qualities of women, such as e.g. paratroopers, legislators, divers, spies, traitors, euretis, drinkers, etc.
