Believing Ancient Women: Feminist Epistemologies for Greece and Rome by Megan El

Description: Believing Ancient Women by Megan Elena Bowen, Mary Hamil Gilbert, Edith Gwendolyn Nally Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Deploys recent philosophical scholarship on feminist epistemology as an interpretive lens Publisher Description This volume deploys recent feminist epistemological frameworks to analyze how concepts like knowledge, authority, rationality, objectivity and testimony were constructed in Greece and Rome. The introduction serves as a field guide to feminist epistemological interpretations of classical sources, and the following sixteen chapters treat a variety of genres and time periods, from Greek poetry, tragedy, philosophy, oratory, historiography and material culture to Roman comedy, epic, oratory, letters, law and their reception. By using an intersectional approach to demonstrate how epistemic systems exclude and pathologize the experiences of ancient women and other oppressed groups, these contributions aid in the recovery of non-dominant narratives and reveal issues of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, religion, age, class, familial status and citizenship in the ancient and modern world. The volume contributes to a more inclusive and equitable study of classical antiquity and builds transhistorical connections capable of exposing similar injustices in our own time.
