Women in byzantine empire played but a small part in professional life.For instance

Moreover, it was not proper for a woman to sit at table with men, unless they were close

relatives, such as her father, husband, or brothers. Most often she would eat in a separate

room, just as she would spend her days in rooms apart from the menfolk. She learnt all about

household matters from a very early age; her education, in contrast, was usually limited to

reading and writing. Very few women acquired a wider learning.

A girl could be married at 12 or 13 years of age. Her parents arranged the match, though they

might be assisted in making their choice of a husband by matchmakers, who received a

portion of the dowry as their fee. A married woman's lot was not a bad one. Christian

principles, which determined how Byzantine society was to function, assured her a decent

existence. Irrespective of her social class, she was mistress of the house, and bearing children

gave her additional standing.

Those who belonged to the poorer levels of society laboured in the fields, or were

employed in their family workshops. A few educated women were doctors who

attended the female population. Others, the so-called 'koines' or prostitutes, lived in

the cabarets and wine-shops.

women in ancient Rome were citizens but could not vote or hold political

office.

[Because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than

men by Roman historians. But while Roman women held no direct political power,

those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through

private negotiations.

I always thought that my parents were continuously on my back but I was mistaken. They were not

on my back, but they were watching my back. Thanks for your support mom and dad.
