Hardcover. Our knowledge of Cleopatra, one of the most famous woman in antiquity, comes from Plutarch's description of her. Plutarch, whose works have remained immensely popular through the years, has shaped our ideas about much of the ancient world. This book is suitable for the general reader who wants to learn more about Plutarch and women in antiquity. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: 1QDA; HBJD; HBLA1; JFSJ1. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 148 x 224 x 23. Weight in Grams: 422. Plutarch was declared a feminist in the twentieth century. Chapman argues that this is a misreading of his work, as well as a misunderstanding of the man himself. She believes that he was a man of his time, and that, although he opted for persuasion rather than force in controlling women, his views nonetheless reflect the male chauvinism of the Greco-Romnan world in which he lived and wrote.
