Weiblichkeit – Macht – Männlichkeit

How do power and gender interact in ancient Greece and Rome? How do current gender historical questions change our perspective on the history of antiquity, and conversely, how have ancient concepts of gender shaped modern constructions of gender identities? The contributions in this volume explore these questions through specific case studies. They engage with current approaches in Gender Studies that examine intersectionality, performance, and agency, critically illuminating the constructiveness of the binary dichotomy of "male-female.".
