"Women's work" as political art : weaving and dialectical politics in Homer, Aristophanes, and Plato
""Women's Work" as Political Art traces the evolution of weaving as a metaphor in the selected works of Homer, Aristophanes, and Plato. Lisa Pace Vetter, in the traditions of classical and modern social thought, interprets weaving as a dialectical approach to politics that links disparate individuals within a greater community through philosophic inquiry. This book offers valuable insight to scholars of political theory, gender studies, and classics alike."--Jacket
