Unpositioned Something is wrong

Mothers in mourning : with the essay of amnesty and its opposite / Nicole Loraux ; translated from the French by Corinne Pache

This study examines the gendered politics of Classical Athens, focusing on the institutional suppression of ritualised mourning by women. It explores how female grief was excluded from the civic arena and instead expressed through Athenian theatre and myth.
