G St 112: Women and Power in Ancient Times

Sarah Isom Ctr for Women&Gender Studies

Women’s power in the ancient world was compromised from the outset, and we explore the root causes and consequences of this social inequality. How did women negotiate their limited leadership roles? Were they able to rule "behind the throne" so to speak? How are we to find a woman’s power when it was so habitually cloaked by a man’s dominance? This class will use bioarchaeological evidence to address those questions and examine the breadth of women’s roles and agency in past societies.
