Role of Women in Society in 3 Works

Abstract: A 5 page essay that examines three classic works -- Aristophanes' Lysistrata, Shakespeare's King Lear and Richard Sheridan's School for Scandal -- in regards to how they portray women's role in society. The writer argues that an of these works, which are separated in time by centuries, demonstrates the universality of patriarchal attitudes that have served to suppress women within these societies. No additional sources cited.
