Lindheim closely reads these fictive letters in which the women seemingly tell their own stories. She points out that in Ovid’s verse epistles all the women represent themselves in a strikingly similar and disjointed fashion.

Lindheim’s approach illuminates what these poems reveal about both masculine and feminine constructions of the feminine
