What are the origins of patriarchy? What were the real and imagined limits of gender identity in the lives of ancient men, women, and children? How have modern scholars revealed, repressed, or misused historical evidence related to sex and gender? Investigate these and other questions to discover how sex and gender identities were created, crystallized, and communicated, and how these developments shed light not only on ancient times, but on our modern day as well. Examine theories exploring gender identity and see how these theories relate to the historical and archeological traditions of the ancient Middle East.
