Goddesses, Whores, Wives and Slaves

Paper Summary:

From the Paper:

"Since the beginning of our knowledge of classical antiquity, women have had many different social statuses. From goddesses to slaves and everything in between; women have been it all. The status of women generally improved in time as women gained power over their own lives. This is true of two comparable societies; that of the women of Hellenistic Greek culture and women of the early Roman Empire. Both had many similarities while they also had some very important differences. Men on the other hand, have had a relatively powerful and dominate role over women in this period of time."
