In this period of 2500 years, two parallel tracks advanced: while male authority tried to construct an ideology that justified women's incompatibility with the political organization of the state, women attempted to resist their exclusion and thwart arguments about their inferiority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the issue of women's status has been studied in detail in specific eras, this interdisciplinary collection extends the boundaries of the discussion.
