'A woman should cast off her shame together with her clothes': What women in ancient times really thought about sex

"A new book tells the history of the ancient world through women. Here author Daisy Dunn explores what they had to say about their own sexuality – flying in the face of misogynist male stereotypes."

If you’re interested in reading about historical feminism and misogyny present in old texts, give the article linked below a read. Or if you want to know what “olisboi” means, it’s in there too.
