How Empress Theodora Shaped Women's Rights

Hiya I’m Moray—a fashion designer with a love for history, (learning from home because a history master’s) is way too expensive!

Today, we’re exploring the story of Theodora, one of the most captivating figures in Byzantine history. From her humble beginnings as an actress to becoming Empress alongside Justinian the Great, Theodora’s life was anything but ordinary.

We’ll discuss:
👑 Her rise to power in a male-dominated world
📜 The reforms she championed for women and the marginalized
🔥 Her role in the Nika Revolt and her unshakable courage
🤔 How Procopius’s accounts shaped her legacy
