The full extent of Plutarch's moral educational program remains largely understudied, at least in those aspects pertaining to women and the gendered other. Like a Captive Bird: Gender and Virtue in Plutarch is an examination of these educational methods employed in Plutarch's work to regulate the expression of gender identity in women and men. As a result, scholarship on his views on women have differed significantly in their conclusions, with some scholars suggesting that he is overwhelmingly positive towards women and marriage and perhaps even a "precursor to feminism," and others arguing that he was rather negative on the issue.
The book examines the divergences between real and ideal, the aims and methods of moral philosophy and psychagogic practice In six chapters, author Lunette Warren analyzes Plutarch's ideas about women and gender in Moralia and Lives.
