Ancient Greek women faced significant oppression, especially between 800-500 BC. They were seen as objects and had no independence - women could not make their own decisions, inherit property, or go out in public unescorted by men. Athenian women experienced the worst oppression, marrying very young to much older husbands, while Spartan women received education and owned land, though still faced social restrictions.

Wide Sargasso Sea/The Yellow Wallpaper Oppression of Women
Both Wide Sargasso Sea and The Yellow Wallpaper explore the oppression of women in the 19th century through their female protagonists. In Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys gives a voice to Bertha from Jane Eyre by telling her backstory as Antoinette. She faces oppression through the renaming and domination by her husband Rochester. Similarly, the unnamed narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper faces oppression and domination from her husband John that leads to her mental decline. Both novels use symbolism such as the parrot and wallpaper to represent the oppression faced by the female characters and their attempts to resist social norms.

Yeats wrote "September 1913" in response to two events in Dublin - Sir Hugh Lane's offer of his art collection to the city and the 1913 Dublin Lock-out strike. The poem laments how "Romantic Ireland" embodied by patriots like O'Leary who fought for Irish independence is now "dead and gone." Yeats suggests Ireland has lost its visionary spirit and instead focuses on practical concerns of "fumbling in a greasy till."

Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece was a civilization that lasted from the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the 600s AD. Society was stratified, with upper, middle, and lower classes. Men were citizens and held public roles, while women were confined to domestic life. Marriage was usually arranged, and divorce was possible. Families were patriarchal, with husbands and fathers in authority. Children were raised communally in Sparta but by mothers in Athens. Education differed by gender and class. The arts, including architecture, sculpture, and music flourished. Religion centered on the Olympian gods and their myths. Festivals honored the gods through processions, sacrifices, and competitions. Upon death, souls went to Hades and bodies received fun
Appearance Vs Reality 2
The document discusses the theme of appearance vs. reality in William Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. Some key examples discussed include Portia appearing friendly to suitors but having ulterior motives, Jessica disguising herself as a boy to elope, and characters like Shylock disguising their true intentions. The theme is significant as it enhances the drama through deceptions and irony, and reveals characters' true personalities.
Alice Walker Presentation
Alice Walker's writing style was greatly influenced by her life experiences as an African American woman. She grew up in poverty in a racist environment in the early 1900s. She was blinded in one eye as a child in an accident. Her works focused on bringing attention to the struggles of African American women and fighting for their rights during a time when they had few rights and were often treated as inferior. Her most famous work, The Color Purple, drew from these experiences and used her writing to give voice to those who were not heard. Overall, Walker's writings illuminated the hardships of African American women and helped advance the civil rights movement through her themes of heritage, identity, and social justice.
Zeus
Zeus is the king of the Greek gods and controls lightning and thunder from his home on Mount Olympus. As the father of many Greek heroes and other Greeks, Zeus mated with mortal women and goddesses, though he was married to his sister Hera. His symbols included the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak tree.

The Iliad, the Basis of Greek Culture and the Western Philosophical Tradition
The Iliad, the Basis of Greek Culture and the Western Philosophical TraditionReflections on Morality, Philosophy, and History
We cannot truly understand the culture of the ancient Greeks, and Greek philosophy, culture and history, and also the Western philosophical tradition, without becoming familiar with Homer’s works, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The Iliad and Odyssey depict a warrior culture. All ancient cultures were warrior cultures out of necessity. War was a deadly business, if an ancient city-state lost a major war, often the men would be slain, and the women and children would be sold into slavery. Most of the slaves of the ancient world were either captured by pirates or enslaved during war.
Both ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were warrior cultures, the cultures of the nations of Israel and Judah in the Old Testament were warrior cultures, and all ancient and medieval cultures were warrior cultures until the rise of the modern nation-state. To properly interpret Greek Philosophy and History, the Western Philosophical tradition, and the Old Testament, we must realize that these ancient cultures were rooted in a warrior ethos.

Everyday life in Ancient Greece
Life in Ancient Greece differed based on gender and social class. For women, those from wealthy families received lessons at home to prepare them for marriage and household duties, often marrying at a young age of 14. They managed the home, children, and slaves, and had little freedom to go out. Poorer women worked outside the home and had more independence. For men, wealthy boys attended school longer to learn reading, writing, music, and athletics, while poorer boys received only basic education. At age 18, men fought in the army for two years and then may pursue further education or work as their fathers did, such as farming. Slavery was also common, with slaves often war captives who worked in homes or

It asserts a distinct Dalit feminist standpoint, rejecting universalism in favor of recognizing differences in experience based on caste, class, and community.

Ancient Greece was made up of several civilizations like the Minoan, Mycenaean, Athenian, and Spartan. Women's roles varied between these civilizations. In Athens, women had very few rights and were expected to care for the home and children. However, in Sparta women had more freedoms like the ability to vote and receive an education. Overall, Greek culture was advanced for its time in areas like art, architecture, theater, and the development of democracy in Athens.

Women in Ancient and Medieval Europe Lecture 3 - Osher Lifelong Learning at UNMUNM Continuing Education
Traditionally, classes and textbooks on Western history have had little to say about the lives of women in Western civilization. This lack of attention was largely due to the fact that women were officially excluded from politics and the military in such formative civilizations as Classical Greece and Rome, as well as being excluded from official positions within the early Christian Church. In fact, when women did draw the attention of historians in the Classical and Medieval eras, it was usually because these women were transgressing accepted norms in these male-dominated, hierarchical societies. However, as we now know, women contributed to these early societies in very important ways, not just as wives and mothers but, occasionally, as political leaders and even military figures. In this class, we’ll examine the political, social, and cultural forces that shaped women’s lives, and we’ll examine the lives of a few of the remarkable women who challenged these forces, both successfully and unsuccessfully.The creation of patriarchy
1. The document discusses the creation of patriarchy and argues that it developed over 2,500 years from 3,100 BC to 600 BC at different paces in different societies, rather than being eternal or universal.
2. It asserts that many common myths about the origins of male dominance are false, including that hunting ability or anatomy determined gender roles. In reality, women provided the majority of food through gathering and small game hunting.
3. Patriarchy became institutionalized through the appropriation of women's sexuality, their commodification through practices like bride purchase, and the exclusion of women from religious covenants beginning with Hebrew monotheism. This laid the foundation for the dominance of male symbols and control over female
The Acropolis.pptx
The document discusses evidence for gender roles and family life in ancient Greek society. It describes how Greek households were centered around women, children, and private life, while men engaged more in public life through rituals and politics. Women were expected to bear sons to inherit the family estate and pass it down through marriage. Daughters married older men chosen by their fathers at age 18 in formal arranged unions. The document also provides historical context on women's roles from sources like Demosthenes' speeches and details on gender separation in homes based on Xenophon's writings.

Ancient China
Ancient China had a long history, with records dating back over 5,000 years to legendary rulers like the Five Emperors. China first unified in 221 BC under Qin Shi Huang. The geography was defined by major rivers like the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. Ancient Chinese civilization was based around agriculture along the rivers, and traded goods like silk, salt, and iron. Confucianism became a major influence on society, which was hierarchical and emphasized proper relationships between people. Over time, the Chinese invented many technologies like paper, printing, and the compass that influenced other ancient cultures.

Empowerment of women (1)
The document summarizes how the empowerment and role of women has changed over time as evidenced through literary texts. It discusses three main eras - the Elizabethan era where women had extremely limited rights and roles, the Victorian era where women were largely confined to the home as housewives and mothers, and the "Jazz Age" of the 1920s where women began to break free from social bonds and restrictions after World War 1 and the industrial revolution. Key literary texts from each era like Shakespeare's plays and poems by Tennyson are referenced to illustrate the experiences and perspectives of women at those different points in history.
An lgbtiq history1
This document provides an overview of LGBTQ history before the modern era, noting that same-sex behavior and diverse gender expressions have likely always existed. It discusses evidence of this dating back thousands of years in various prehistoric and ancient cultures around the world, including indigenous traditions recognizing multiple genders. The document also examines references and traditions related to gender and sexual diversity in early recorded history and religious texts from various faiths.
Matriarchy and Patriarchy
Matriarchal and patriarchal societies are organized differently, with matriarchies centering around mother rule and females at the top, while patriarchies involve male dominance and control. Some existing matriarchal societies include the Mosuo people of China, where inheritance and family decisions follow the female line, and the Umoja Tribe of Kenya founded by Rebbeca Lolosoli, where women own land and livestock. However, most animal species and human societies exhibit patriarchy. While progress has been made, many countries still struggle with gender inequalities and issues like violence against women. Moving forward, discussions are needed to overcome stereotypes and bridge understanding between all individuals.

Ancient Greece started around 2900 BC and was destroyed in 641 AD when Slavs overran the region. During this time, many important historical events occurred including the Trojan War and the first Olympic Games. Ancient Greek society was divided into different classes with male citizens having the most power and slaves having virtually none. Family life centered around the home and women's roles focused on household duties while education was limited mostly to boys from wealthy families.
Status and position of Women in ancient India
This document discusses the changing status and position of women in ancient India between 2500 BC to 1800 AD. During the early Vedic period from 2500-1500 BC, women had a high status and freedom, holding property, receiving education including studying religious texts, and participating actively in society and religious ceremonies. However, from 1500 BC onwards, the status of women gradually declined, and by 500 BC-1800 AD women saw a significant deterioration in their rights, facing restrictions on inheritance, education, age of marriage, and autonomy, and were expected to live under the authority of male relatives.
Isabel Ancient Greece
Daily Life in Ancient Greece was divided into many periods and consisted of complex social structures. Citizens had rights not afforded to women, foreigners, or slaves. Family life was patriarchal and centered around the oikos or household. Children were raised communally in Sparta but had more schooling in Athens. Religion heavily influenced all aspects of life and the Greeks believed in many gods and held various festivals in their honor.
Ancient Egypt Society.pptx
Ancient Egyptian society was strictly hierarchical, with the pharaoh as absolute ruler at the top. As a living god, the pharaoh owned all land and led both politically and religiously. Nobles administered local regions as officials, while priests performed rituals to keep the gods happy. Scribes, soldiers, and skilled craftsmen like potters and weavers also had important roles. Farmers and slaves formed the lowest classes, with slaves working on farms, in mines, and in households. Marriage was an important institution, though royal families commonly practiced incestuous unions and polygamy was accepted. Women had some legal rights but were still under the authority of their husbands.
A Herstory of Women
A history of women through the ages and civilizations. Short version of http://www.scaruffi.com/know/herstory.html
19th century women
Women in the 19th century lived with little autonomy and were expected to obey men. They had few rights over their bodies or property upon marriage. While the ideal was that women serve men, many women rebelled against these social restrictions through religious conversion, work outside the home, and publishing books critiquing women's status. As other social movements challenged the existing order, some women argued they too deserved emancipation.

Women in Ancient Greek Civilization
- 1. LEILA SAAD CLASSICAL HERITAGE ©2016 WOMEN IN ANCIENT GREEK CIVILIZATION
- 2. CONTENT • Period of Oppression • Forms of Oppression of Women in Ancient Greek Civilization (marriage, social life, inheritance) • Women in Athens • Women in Sparta
- 3. PERIOD OF OPPRESSION 800 B.C – 500 B.C was the period which maintained the weak view of females. Women were much oppressed during that time. The era 400 B.C. nurtured and cultivated its demeaning role of women.
- 4. FORMS OF OPPRESSION IN ANCIENT GREEK CIVILIZATION • Marriage was a means of exchange; women were seen as “objects”. • Women did not carry their family’s name. In case they wanted to go out to the public, they were escorted by men. They were not allowed to make any decisions (their decisions were voiced by their male relatives). They were responsible for household chores and supervising slaves only. The only decent job they were allowed to have was working as a priestess. Women were separated from men even inside the house. • The only case in which a female could inherit property was through her male sibling.
- 5. ATHENS • Ancient Athenian women were very oppressed. All forms of oppression were practiced on them. They married at a young age; the difference between them and their husbands was large. They were more oppressed than Spartan women.
- 6. SPARTA • Women received good education in both arts and athletics. • Women were encouraged to develop their intellect. • Women owned more than a third of land. • Women married at a later age than Athenian women did (smaller age difference).
- 7. THANK YOU !
