Recenzje

I highly recommend this book, for it fully succeeds in showing that Pythagorean women sages — independently from their real, historical identity — set out a strategy for teaching other women in their group that family is the space in which they can achieve outstanding moral value, the precinct in which they can give their 'philosophical' contribution.
