Abstract

The Mesopotamian cuneiform sources of II millenium b.C. do offer us a lot of documents about Mesopotamian women. Some codes, laws, and several private archives allow us to reconstruct common women life in their family framework. This article analyses the women condition considering different weeding costumes, the women economic situation, as well as their activities at their homes.
