Catalogue summary
A dissertation reads fifth-century Armenian Christian narratives for women's agency, asceticism, queenship, family status, marriage practices, conversion roles, and wartime violence.
Why this matters
Its comparison with Greek and Syriac clerical traditions argues that pre-Christian Armenian ideology helped produce unusually empowered literary representations of women.
