“Birthing the Virtues: Ancient Female Martyrs, Endurance, and the Hope of Resurrection”

Female martyrs in the Early Church, including Thecla, Perpetua, Felicitas, and Blandina, paid the ultimate price for their faith, and in so doing shaped Christian worship and doctrine. They endured a martyr’s end because of their hope in bodily resurrection. Endurance was thought to be a female virtue, typified by a woman enduring childbirth. This lecture will explore how Christians embraced endurance as a virtue for men and women, challenging the gender-constructed virtues and the imperial values of the wider Roman world.
