What this may prove is that women retained the power and privilege of the house they grew up in rather than that of their husband. This is a common pattern in...

I recently learned of this article and thought it might be of interest to this list. A review written from the feminist perspective on the Bablyon exhibit...
A few points are surely worthy of mention here. First off, Betty De Shong Meador reads no Sumerian, nor any other ANE language to the best of my knowledge....

The extent of Betty De Shong Meador's knowledge of Sumerian is not known to me, but her close work on the original texts (which she describes as "in-depth",...
