Plutarch's On the Courage of Women, (Greek: Γυναικον Αρεται, Latin: De Virtutibus Mulierum or Mulierum Virtutes), is an essay containing 27 short stories relating acts of female courage in the ancient world, probably written at the beginning of the second century AD as a part of a larger work, called Moralia. The stories are described as a list of “commonly known” acts of courage by women that have been demonstrated over many years that deserve comparison alongside men.
