After wwii berlin was controlled by

After the defeat of Germany, the Cold War started and it divided Europe in two blocks. The same happened with Berlin. A division was set between Soviet-controlled East Berlin and the democratic western section of the city, controlled by British, French and Americans. Because of the many citizens from East Germany searching for better opportunities on the West Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Western control. That was known as the Berlin Blockade.

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
