520    This is the first comprehensive account of women's legal 
       and social positions in the west from classical antiquity 
       right through to the early middle ages. The main focus of 
       the book is on the late antique period, with constant 
       reference to classical Roman law and the lives of women in
       the early empire. The book goes on to follow women's 
       history up to the seventh century, thus bridging the 
       notorious gap of the 'dark ages'. Major themes include 
       daughters' succession rights; the independence of married 
       women; sexual relations outside marriage; divorce; 
       remarriage; and the general legal capacity of women. Antti
       Arjava argues that from the viewpoint of most women, late 
       antiquity was not a period of radical change. In 
       particular, the influence of Christianity has often been 
       considerably exaggerated. It was only after the fall of 
       the western empire that a new legal system and a new 
       social world emerged.
