(3 /0/. 3)

Prerequisite: (HIST 1111 or HIST 1112) and (HIST 2111 or HIST 2112)
This course aims to introduce students to the roles of women of all social classes in different periods of Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the problems of studying women’s history in the Greco-Roman world. The course will combine a chronological approach with the thematic one, as each week will focus on women’s roles and participation in a specific period and/or sphere of activity, such as religion, politics, the dramatic stage, the family and house-hold, and law.
