LEGALLY BOUND: A STUDY OF WOMEN’S LEGAL STATUS IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST

Abstract Details

2004, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
This paper analyzes the legal status of women in the ancient Near Eastern law codes and legal documents of Ur III, Old Babylonia, and Middle Assyria. From these laws, one can determine how ancient Near Eastern society perceived women. By studying women’s legal status, one can also determine the values and societal structure of ancient Near Eastern societies.
