Abstract

While feminism is widely believed to be a modern term and construct, over 2000 years ago, Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus had already advocated equal education for girls and boys. This paper investigates Musonius’ teachings and evaluates their potential to be a feminist doctrine under consideration of the historical background of the first century A.D.
