Jane Ellen Harrison

    Jane Ellen Harrison è stata una studiosa classica e linguista britannica, fondamentale per gli studi moderni sulla religione e la mitologia dell'antica Grecia. Applicò scoperte archeologiche del XIX secolo per interpretare concetti religiosi greci antichi, stabilendo metodi che divennero standard per la futura erudizione. Come una delle prime donne a intraprendere una carriera accademica in Inghilterra, Harrison sostenne il suffragio femminile, pur esprimendo riserve personali. Il suo lavoro continua a plasmare la nostra comprensione del mondo classico.
