married woman‚ the meretrix or courtesan‚ the ancilla or handmaid‚ and the anus or old woman. Many are never seen‚ merely discussed and others are seen but do not speak and never are they the protagonist of the play. Within The History Boys‚ Alan Bennett introduces one meretrix who is never seen‚ two matrona who are also never seen and one ancilla who could be argued to be the one exemption from the tokenistic nature of the woman in the History Boys.[1: http://www.vroma.org/~araia/plautinewomen.html]

Gordon argues that the system is neither natural nor necessary. Gordon agrees with Scheingold that the myth of rights makes it impossible to envision rights in any other way. Gordon feels the myth of rights is primarily that there is no mutually agreed upon set or rules that govern laws.
