Women in Antiquity, Ancient Israel, Women’s daily life, Cultural crossoversAbstract
This essay aims to investigate the conjunctural form of women’s daily life, considering their technical, and religious activities. Particularly in the case of Israeli women, historically situating the threat of changing their community work environment to transform them into servants in the king’s palace. The hypothesis is that female agency is the protagonist in the long-term transformation of these structures, founding new spaces. The Hebrew textual fragment of I Samuel 8:13 will compose, with archaeological artifacts and ethnological research, the framework of material sources that will provide the interdisciplinary bases of the approach.
