| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2908 How do intersecting identities (race, ethnicity, class, gender) contribute to labelling a woman or group of women as dangerous? In this course we will examine various types of dangerous women from antiquity, and explore how these women embody both the idea of repressed sexuality, hidden knowledge, and peril. Well first investigate mythological and legendary figures such as Medusa and Clytemnestra, then turn to more historical figures such as Cleopatra and Boudicca.; Lottery Preference: Classics Majors and Minors; Enrollment Limit: 25.00 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, A) |
