This holds true for Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Etruria, a remarkably consistent pattern given the otherwise dissimilar nature of the artistic production of these areas. Surprisingly, only the most cursory attempt has been made to connect this fundamental signifier of difference to the broader issues of gender and the status of women in the ancient Mediterranean. This paper will discuss historical events that have led to women s health being an important current health issue both politically and academically. The current definition of women s health will be proposed and how it has changed over time. An interactive women s health quiz will be conducted to assess what we know and what we don t know about women s health issues.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
