6/4/2023 0 Comments Theodora stella duffyThe entire book poignantly showed how few options women have for autonomy in a patriarchy. What was one of the most memorable moments of Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore? I was initially concerned that perhaps the sexual aspects of Theodora's life would be exploited, and was relieved by the lack of graphic detail. Funny how many of the religious and social issues explored in the book remain unresolved some 2000 years later. The author illustrated the mindsets of the day, the religious and social questions that vexed most everyone and how people in intolerable social situations made their lives. Important period of history breathed into life through the lens of Theodora's life. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
