BBST 659 - Warriors, Wives, and Wenches: Women’s Lives in the Greek and Roman Empires

3 credits
Women’s lives during the Greek and Roman Empires were far more fulsome and participatory than often represented in biblical texts and modern popular reconstructions. Using a broader range of resources from ancient classical and novelistic literature to contextualize select biblical passages, we can increase our understanding of the contours of women’s lives in thse periods. We will assess both history and the present separately and interconnectedly for the construction of gender as an interweaving of history and ideology. Prerequisite: Either BBST 501  or BBST 511 .
