Publisher's Synopsis
""Women in Myth and History"" by Violeta Miqueli is a comprehensive exploration of the roles and representations of women throughout history and mythology. The book examines the various ways in which women have been portrayed in different cultures, from ancient Greece to modern times, and analyzes the social, cultural, and political contexts that have shaped these representations.The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different aspect of women's experiences. The first section explores the myths and legends surrounding women in ancient cultures, examining the roles of goddesses, heroines, and other female figures in mythology. The second section looks at the historical experiences of women, from the Middle Ages to the present day, and examines the ways in which women have been marginalized and oppressed throughout history.The third section of the book examines the ways in which women have challenged patriarchal structures and fought for their rights, both historically and in the present day. This section includes discussions of feminist movements, women's suffrage, and other important moments in the history of women's rights.Finally, the book concludes with a section on contemporary issues facing women, including reproductive rights, gender-based violence, and the impact of globalization on women's lives.Throughout the book, Miqueli draws on a wide range of sources, including historical texts, literature, and popular culture, to provide a nuanced and insightful analysis of the complex and multifaceted experiences of women throughout history and across cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
