Roma 28 novembre 1936. Grecista. Laureata in Legge, specializzata a Berkeley (Usa) e Heidelberg (Germania). Figlia del grande grecista Raffaele. «Fin da bambina amavo il mondo greco, perché in casa sentivo parlare di personaggi mitologi, dell’Odissea... Ma all’Università mi rifiutai di iscrivermi alla facoltà dove insegnava mio padre. Mi imbarazzava l’idea di essere la figlia del Professore. Così studiai Legge, laureandomi con una tesi sul diritto romano antico e poi dedicandomi, per conto mio, al diritto greco».
Insegna Istituzioni di diritto romano e Diritto greco alla Statale di Milano. Ha insegnato anche a Austin e alla New York City University.
Nel 2002 fu nominata da Ciampi Grand’Ufficiale della Repubblica. L’anno successivo vinse il premio Bagutta con il libro Itaca. Eroi, donne, potere tra vendetta e diritto.
Ha dedicato una parte dei suoi studi alle donne dell’antichità (per esempio Tacita muta, la donna nella città antica, Editori Riuniti, e Passato prossimo. Donne romane da Tacita a Sulpicia, Feltrinelli) e sull’erotismo nell’antichità (La bisessualità nel mondo antico, Editori riuniti). Bei saggi su Pompei: Pompei. I volti dell’amore (Mondadori), e Un giorno a Pompei (Electa) e il suo ultimo libro Pompei è viva (Feltrinelli 2013).
Nel 2008 tra coloro che raccolsero l’appello di Angelo D’Orsi per mostrare solidarietà ai 67 docenti di fisica della Sapienza una cui lettera aveva fatto saltare l’invito a Benedetto XVI per l’inaugurazione dell’anno accademico (vedi Marcello Cini).
Femminista della prima ora, comunista, in prima linea nelle battaglie per divorzio e aborto. «Non sono contraria a scendere in piazza. In una fase in cui siamo tutti incatenati agli schermi, la parola pubblica sarebbe la vera novità» (a Maria Laura Rodotà nel 2009) [Corriere della Sera, 15/9/2009] ...more
