History
Why Is Évelyne Patlagean Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Évelyne Patlagean was a French historian and Byzantinist, working on questions of poverty, welfare, gender, the family, and women in Byzantium. Patlagean's doctoral thesis, entitled Pauvreté économique et pauvreté sociale à Byzance, 4e-7e siècles, was published in 1977. In it, Patlagean developed ideas about inherent inequality in the status of women in the eastern Roman empire. She worked on questions of gender indetermination and transgression, including the seemingly unclear status of the eunuch, and in an important 1976 article, Patlagean opened a new dimension on the masculine inscription of circumscribed gender roles in Byzantine religious orders. Georges Sidéris suggests that Patlagean drew upon then-new insights afforded by the work of the sex and gender researchers Robert J. Stoller and Ann Oakley. Patlagean contributed to the first volume of Paul Veyne's edited Histoire de la vie privée .
