Beyond the Boundaries of Fantasia: An ancient imagining of the future of leadership

Readings: Plutarch's Antony (4:00)

First, read Plutarch, Life of Antony (Loeb translation). It's a very long biography, so for the purposes of this module, I have bolded sections you should focus your attention on. Within these sections, you will find pop-up links with questions about different aspects of gender and leadership as they come up in the narrative. Answer these for yourself, and feel free to come up with your own questions, too.

After you've read through once, make a chart that tracks gender presentation and its consequences for Antony, Fulvia, Cleopatra, and Octavia. For each character, you should produce a chart that looks something like this:
 
Masculine Trait/Action
1.
2.
3.		Consequences

3.		Plutarch’s Evaluation
