Description
About the Book
This book investigates the status and roles of women in the Achaemenid Empire through the Persepolis archives, analyzing their presence in both royal and non-royal contexts and highlighting their participation in labor, administration, and the imperial economy.Book Synopsis
This book offers a comprehensive examination of the status and roles of women within the socio-economic framework of the Achaemenid Empire. Drawing primarily on the Persepolis Fortification and Treasury Archives, it foregrounds the documentary evidence as a lens through which the lives, labor, and agency of women--both within royal institutions and beyond--can be critically assessed. Women of the Empire explores a range of thematic issues across its chapters, highlighting the diverse contexts in which women appear in administrative records and reconstructing their participation in the imperial economy.About the Author
