Women in the Oikos: The Stranger Within
by Catherine Colegrove, Canterbury School, Ft. Wayne, IN

Colegrove takes a close look at the "women" plays of Aristophanes and how his writings exaggerated the suspicions of new husbands over the conduct of their young brides. To uncover the reality behind them, Colegrove analyzes the playwright's comic exaggerations of men's fears about marriage. Woven throughout Colegrove's text are links to CTCWeb resources such as the Global Glossary™ and other Internet resources that complement and enhance her work.
