Why were boys' bodies thought to be closer in constitution to those of women than adult men? Did Byzantines think eunuchs were men? This lively and personal book explains some key aspects of how people of the Medieval Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) conceived of men and women, masculinity and femininity, and proper behaviour for men and women. By laying bare fundamental ideas about how gender was defined and performed, 'Byzantine Gender' enables readers to understand Byzantine society more fully. And by providing background information about Byzantine gender, it makes it easier to approach and appreciate the fascinating otherness of Byzantine culture. 410 0$aPast imperfect (ARC Humanities Press) 606 $aSex role$zByzantine Empire 607 $aByzantine Empire$xSocial life and customs 607 $aByzantine Empire$xCivilization 610 $aByzantine Empire. 610 $aEunuchs. 610 $aFemininity. 610 $aGender. 610 $aMasculinity. 615 0$aSex role 676 $a949.5 700 $aNeville$b Leonora Alice$f1970-$0778849 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828501603321 996 $aByzantine Gender$94072406 997 $aUNINA
