Observaciones y contexto

In Brutus, a history of Roman oratory, Cicero provides examples of women (Lelia, her daughters -the Mucias- and her granddaughters -the Licinias-) who possessed an education and oratorical ability with which they could have become excellent orators, as used to happen with men of the same social status, if the exercise of judicial and political oratory had not been vetoed for Roman women. Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi, also enjoyed an excellent preparation to pass it on to her children. Well into the first century BC, in an area of clear expansion of women's rights, three Roman matrons (Hortensia, Maesia and Gaia Afrania) practiced law.
