Classic cars : a collection of iconic & much-loved classics / by Bailey, Devon.(CARDINAL)622112;
"The great thing about the classic car is that you don't have to be a millionaire to join the club! You will recognise many of the cars featured in this book and you may even remember your parent or grandparent driving one in your childhood. There is no concrete classification for what constitutes a classic car but for many people it refers to a vehicle that harks back to a bygone age, which as a result means there are fewer specimens on the road. In addition some more up-to-date models are now being categorised as modern classics. This is a collection of some of the finest cars ever produced with informative backgrounds on their design and manufacture"--Publisher's description.

Drawing on the most recent findings and research on the topic, the book offers an overview of the historical events, values, and institutions that are critical for appreciating and comparing the life situations of women across both cultures. The author examines the life cycle of women in ancient Greek and Rome beginning with how young females acquired the gendered characteristics necessary for adulthood. The text explores female adolescence, including concerns about virginity, medical views of the female body, religious roles, and education. Views of marriage, motherhood, sexual activity, adultery, and prostitution are also examined. In addition, the author explores how women exercised authority and the possibilities for their civic engagement.
