This paper will prove that Plato did have some fundamental ideas of feminism within his philosophy for his time, although these ideas themselves were inconsistent within his works. Thus, I hesitate to say that Plato was a feminist by our current late twentieth century standards. He was not. Part one of the paper will discuss Plato's so-called feminism, while part two will illustrate the inconsistencies in his treatment of women. 11.5 pgs. 28 f/c. 10b.
