"Women's Work" as Political Art traces the evolution of weaving as
metaphor in Homer's Odyssey, Aristophanes' Lysistrata, and Plato's
Statesman and Phaedo. This figurative technique represents a
dialectical approach to politics that combines disparate
individuals within a greater community through philosophic inquiry.
Expanding on feminist theorists such as Martha Nussbaum, Lisa Pace
Vetter argues that in these works, the metaphor of the
traditionally feminine art of weaving conveys complex and inclusive
teachings that address the concerns of women more effectively than
commonly believed. This book offers valuable insight to scholars of
political theory, gender studies, and classics alike.
