Jane Harrison Quotes


A British classical scholar, linguist and feminist. 
Jane Ellen Harrison (9 September 1850–5 April 1928) was a British classical scholar, linguist and feminist. Harrison is one of the founders, with Karl Kerenyi and Walter Burkert, of modern studies in Greek mythology. She applied 19th century archaeological discoveries to the interpretation of Greek religion in ways that have become standard. Contemporary classics scholar Mary Beard, Harrison's biographer, has described her as "in a way... [Britain's] first female professional 'career academic'".
