Eaverly - Tan Men-Pale Women - Color and Gender in Archaic Greece and Egypt - A Comparative Approach - 2013 - Content

This book examines how gender and skin color were portrayed in ancient Egypt and Greece between 2500 BC to 400 BC. It explores how pale skin was typically depicted for women while tan skin was shown for men, establishing this as the norm. The book also analyzes exceptions to this norm, looking particularly at depictions of Queen Hatshepsut and Akhenaten in Egypt who broke from gender conventions, as well as the shift to red figure pottery in ancient Greece where some norms were challenged. The book uses a comparative approach to provide insights into conceptions of gender and skin tone in archaic Egypt and Greece.
