This paper compares Aristotle's view of women of Sparta to other history sources.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages) | 3 sources | 2005 United States


Paper Summary:

The paper explains how Aristotle maintained that men are naturally superior to women and that the women of Sparta were permitted too much freedom. He also believed that the women of Sparta were the cause of the city's downfall. The paper examines how Aristotle's views represent a direct contrast to the views expressed through other sources. Plutarch, for example, held that the women of Sparta were courageous and also were supportive of their men. The paper explains that even though Aristotle's views were negative, they are valuable as a source of evidence that Sparta was marked not only by equality for women but also by superiority for women.
