Les Femmes A Athenes-l'antiquite Grecque Etat Elle Mise
"Presses Universitaires de France and Frmeaux & Associs are offering this history of women in Athens, analysed and explained by Violaine Sebillotte Cuchet, Professor of Ancient Greek History at the University of Paris I Panthon-Sorbonne and a specialist in the history of women and gender. Who doesn't already have a preconceived notion of the situation of women in Ancient Greece? The Athenians - and other Greeks too, for that matter - were inevitably misogynists, since they are reputed to have excluded women from their city. They relegated them to the private sphere of the home. In this interview, the historian questions this assertion, as recent research in both the social sciences and the sciences of antiquity is making it possible to reassess the attitude of ancient societies towards women and, more generally, the relationship between men and women.
