A. Wright is a scholarly examination of the role of women in ancient Greek literature, written in the early 20th century. The work explores the portrayal and treatment of women across different literary periods, from the epic poems of Homer through to the philosophical writings of Aristotle, analyzing how literature reflects societal values and the degradation of women's status over time. The opening of this work introduces the central thesis that Greek civilization's decline can be linked to its devaluation of women, depicting a historical backdrop where women were subjected to both literary and social oppression. Wright discusses the contrasting positions of women in various Greek texts, with particular focus on how early epics, such as the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," present women as complex figures with agency, while later writings reflect a shift towards misogyny and female inferiority, influenced by changing cultural norms and philosophies. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed analysis of the literary landscape, illustrating the evolution of feminist thought through the lens of Greek literature.
