À propos de ce livre

This book investigates how women lived, labored, and left traces in three foundational civilizations—Egypt, Babylon, and Greece—asking what daily life, law, and religion reveal about female agency beneath the surface of male‑centric records. It reconstructs the lives of women who managed households, handled property, practiced medicine, and served as priestesses, exploring where ancient law recognized their rights and where it tethered them to men, gods, and dynasties. Drawing on legal codes, votive offerings, and household inventories, the book compares the relative expansiveness of women's roles in places like Egypt—where women could inherit land, initiate divorce, and stand as legal parties—with the more constrained but still varied spaces available to Babylonian and Greek women, from temple economies and textile workshops to the tightly policed domestic sphere of classical Athens. It also examines how religious imagery, funerary monuments, and administrative tablets encode women's labor, kinship, and authority, even when formal politics and public speech remained male‑dominated.
