8.6801 Women in Ancient Societies: Athens, Sparta, Rome, and the Medieval Period.
This 14-page, 8-source piece analyzes the role of women in four ancient societies: Athens, Sparta, Rome, and the Medieval Period. The author discusses how women were viewed in each society, often discussing their legal, social, and sexual status. In each case, the author shows how women were often able to exploit opportunity and achieve at least some degree of influence in their society, while they were always important in how each society functioned. The author compares and contrasts each society throughout the piece, concluding that despite the restrictions placed on them by these societies, women have always been able to exert themselves in often subtle but important ways. 14 pgs.

9.5023 Romanticism or Reality? A Comparative Analysis of the Question of Egalitarianism in Hunter-Gatherer Societies.
This paper will examine the question of the egalitarian structure of hunter-gatherer societies from a comparative perspective. It will be argued that variations between the egalitarianism of hunter-gatherer societies, traditionally seen as simply a matter of economics, may also be the result of cultural factors. While peoples of different cultures, in different environments, will necessarily define the division of labour and the distribution of resources in different fashions, the persistent signs of egalitarianism in hunter-gatherers in all regions and historical eras is a puzzle that demands closer study. 10 pgs.
