What Did the Stoics Say about Gender Equality?

This series, in collaboration with Philadelphia Stoa, offers practical strategies for addressing life’s challenges. In this session, we will focus on Musonius Rufus, a 1st century Roman Stoic philosopher who championed gender equality. Musonius argued that women, like men, are endowed with reason and virtue and, so, are equally capable of embodying justice, courage, and wisdom. His teachings resonate with modern feminist principles, advocating for equal education and rights for all.
