Résumé
At this convention I presented a paper titled “What Should Women? The Stoics on Gender-Role Division”. The theme of my speech was a reconstruction of the Stoics’ thinking on womanhood. In particular, I examined their reflections on the question whether it is convenient to classify certain activities as appropriate (καθήκοντα, officia) for man and others for woman. This study allowed me, in the first place, to shed light on the Stoic notion of appropriate activity, which is the object of a current debate among scholars. Secondly, my analysis gave us some elements to assess the existence of a theoretical stand shared by the Stoics regarding the social role of women and how peculiar their stand is, in comparison to their socio-cultural environment.
