This article proceeds the cycle of articles about characters in Pliny „Letters“. Although male characters dominate and there are few women images in the „Letters“, but Pliny represents every female character very carefully, showing their living, education, everyday cares. All characters of women, however, are dynamic, expressive and vivid. Representing women oftentimes are speechless and serve as examples, because their lives stories are incorporated in some letters. In the article they are sorted out into several types: girl, just married woman, mature married woman, single woman, widow. Assorting them it becomes obvious that these types show woman life in first century A.D. from her childhood until death.
