Why We Need a Women’s History of the Roman Empire

Author Emma Southon discusses why she wrote "A Rome of One’s Own: The Forgotten Women of the Roman Empire".
My new book, A Rome of One’s Own: The Forgotten Women of the Roman Empire, is a revisionist history of the Roman Empire with Important Things relegated to the background. This is a history of the things the Roman male historians and biographers never wanted to write about and certainly didn’t want us to be writing about. This is a history of the things the Roman history writers designated as domestic, feminine, boring and worthless. It is a history of individuals, because, to quote Svetlana Alexievich, “this miniature expanse: one person, the individual. It’s where everything really happens.”
“And smokebomb lesbian conferences, call black women the same as men, punch pensioners in the face, threaten to rape with our girldicks, usurp the word woman and then reduce it to a feeling, an abstract concept, and spinny dresses, then usurp the word female while also making it meaningless, claim that sex is a spectrum, make sexual orientation about gender and not sex…”
And threaten to beat, maim, or kill you if you disagree with any of this.
And IGNORE and refuse to recognize and treat any co-morbid conditions (like PTSD, depression) because your gender specialness is much more important and valid.
I would add: Letting mediocre male athletes cheat in sports. Deny women and girls language and that spaces to describe our unique sex based reality. Chemically castrate children.
and rigidly enforce gender roles and fashions and behavioral expectations, and hobbies and interests.
and mess up medical statistics, crime statistics, population statistics.
and appropriate other peoples rights movements, organizations and flags/symbols.
and rewrite history to centre trans and trans historical events and figures.
and appropriate medical conditions like DSD.
