“…often women aren’t allowed to be characters in history, they have to be stereotypes. Cleopatra was a poet and a philosopher, she was incredibly good at maths; she wasn’t that much of a looker. But when we think of her, we think: big breasted seductress bathing in milk. Often, even when women have made their mark and they are remembered by history, we are offered a fantasy version of their lives.”

— Dr. Bettany Hughes on women’s absence from history, and the ways historians need to actively put women back into the narrative.  (via thepoliticalnotebook)
