Suzanne Dixon (born 1946)[1] is an Australian classical scholar, widely recognised as an authority on women's history and particularly marriage and motherhood.
[6] Amy Richlin, currently professor of Classics at the University of California, Los Angeles, has cited Dixon as a great influence in shaping her own work on gender politics.
[7] Her 1992 monograph 'The Roman Family' is credited with being one of the key texts in the field.
[8] She is currently without an academic post, but continues writing about the ancient world in a freelance capacity,[9] such as her contribution as Honorary Research Consultant to a chapter on Roman marriage in The Wiley Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds.
[10] Dixon lives on an island in Moreton Bay, off the coast of South Queensland, Australia.
