reading Euripides’ work, many people struggle to determine if he was or was not a feminist. With his presentation of female protagonists in many of his plays, some do not find it difficult to rationalize that Euripides was a feminist.

However, since the practice of female circumcision is not practiced and is illegal in the United States, it makes me wonder “Is this even okay?”. It is most likely illegal, and not practiced not only in the United States, but in other countries as well for a reason. It is practiced in…
