In recent history‚ a focal point of attention has been placed on the issue of Women’s Rights and an increased role for women in society.

The story of Lucretia and her subsequent tragedy is a reflection on women’s position in Roman society and how they were treated. This story both offers some historical context to the modern Latin learner but also teaches a very valuable lesson.
