Women of Etruria thread in Vita Feminea Antiqua
"Behind a famous man there's got to be an industrious and ingenious woman."
Nothing could be said more wrong about Etruscan women than the quotation above. Etruscan women did not stand or live behind their men, but next to them!
Examples that have led to this conclusion can be found in the art of the Etruscans, the place Etruscan women had on burial and other inscriptions, the fact that Etruscans were officially described with the names of BOTH parents behind their first name, the description of the lifestyle and position of Etruscan women by historians such as Herodotus and Livius.
This thread will be about this kind of woman and the status she held!
