Women?s Presence in the Southern Levant During the Hellenistic-Roman Period

This study was designed to demonstrate that women had an important role in the Hellenistic-Roman period in the Southern Levant. One of the most important reasons that motivated me to begin my research is that we have yet to conclude and build a clear and strong picture in one research or book with a scientific foundation and evidence to shed light on the exact role of women in social, political, and religious practices during this era.  Is it true that all they performed was home duties and followed the norms and restrictions established by their male family members? Did they have an impact on their communities, and more especially, did they engage in their community?s religious life? Did they play an important role in their communities? Are there notable female figures whose names are remembered in history?
I had to prove that the role of women was not just a housewife but they had a prominent role in the Southern Levant During the Hellenistic-Roman Period. Therefore, I collected the sources and literature related to my topic as well as the inscriptions and scripts resulting from several excavations that occurred in the Southern Levant. Also, I included the women of Judea, the women of Nabataea, the women of Palmyra, and the women mentioned in the New Testament to prove what I believe of.
I started each chapter by identifying the entities to demonstrate the main features of each entity and then proceeded to reach the point where women were most effective. Also, how they practiced their roles, which I believe that they were fundamental.
 I plan to continue my research in the future to add and collect every single inscription and script that mention women and translate them to add to the literature a collective book that makes it easier for all researchers in the field to have easy access to these inscriptions.
