Good blurb! It really gets across the answer to 'why is this dissertation important?', which is a good thing. A couple suggestions, though: - rearrange the first sentence so it's clearer that the stereotypes were created by elite Roman men rather than the women being created by them :) - maybe give an example of a 'tainted' woman (if you're going to be explaining this to people who have enough knowledge of your field to know who you're talking about), or give a few more specifics about the social class of the respectable women that you're talking about. - change 'connotation' in the last sentence to 'correlation'
As for the question of hair...well, I'm not the best one to give advice on hair-cutting :) Maybe wait a bit, to see how you feel when the weather gets warmer?
