Despite these voluminous sources, the topic of work and the contribution of women have rarely been addressed.This book examines occupations involving women over the course of three millennia of Near Eastern history. It presents the various aspects of women as economic agents inside and outside of the family structure. Inside the family, women were the main actors in the production of goods necessary for everyday life. In some instances, their activities exceeded the simple needs of the household and were integrated within the production of large organizations or commercial channels. The contributions presented in this volume are representative enough to address issues in various domains: social, economic, religious, etc., from varied points of view: archaeological, historical, sociological, anthropological, and with a gender perspective.This book will be a useful tool for historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and graduate students interested in the economy of the ancient Near East and in women and gender studies. 410 0$aStudies in ancient Near Eastern records ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aWomen$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 676 $a305.40956 702 $aLion$b Brigitte 702 $aMichel$b Ce?cile 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467567103321 996 $aThe role of women in work and society in the ancient near East$92474269 997 $aUNINA
