Stoic philosophers argued that women were morally and intellectually equal to men, contrary to the societal norms of their time. They acknowledge that all humans are rational beings and assert that moral responsibilities should be considered independent of gender. By advocating that gender distinctions should not limit moral values or abilities, they play a pioneering role in driving social change and progress. The stoics’ acceptance of gender equality and the moral capacities of women represents a relatively progressive form of thinking according to the societal norms of their time. This article explores the views of stoic philosophers on women, assessing whether their perspectives on women can be evaluated on feminist grounds and examining how the stoic progressive approach can be assessed from a moral perspective. Stoic philosophers’ thoughts about women differ from each other. While some philosophers’ views include gender inequality or misogyny, some stoics believe that people are inherently equal and that each gender can develop moral virtues. Stoics of this view argue that all people, men and women, can acquire virtues without making gender distinctions.
