More about the book

Exploring the evolution of love and gender roles, this work examines how societal dialogues shape perceptions across historical epochs, rooted in a Greco-Roman 'master grammar.' The author analyzes femininity through various lenses such as gynecology, law, and customs, emphasizing the necessity of evaluating womanhood to define male-female relations. Classical literature from figures like Plato and Aeschylus is scrutinized, alongside the prevalence of homosexuality in ancient times. The critique of romantic love's modern relevance calls for a redefined understanding of love for the future.
