Woman in the Nabataean Society

Öz

This paper studies the role the women played in ancient Nabataean society in particular in legal, political and social life, in reference to some epigraphic and archaeological evidences. Most of the information concerning Nabataean society come from Graceo-Roman writen resources and were not always unbiased. Therefore, the epigraphic and archaeological resources provide us with new information that leads us to a beter understanding of the Nabataean woman in politics, ritual activities, social life, costumes and jewelry and her property rights.

Nabatî Toplumunda Kadın

Öz

Bu makale, antik Nabatî toplumundaki kadınların bilhassa siyasî, hukukî ve sosyal alandaki rollerini, bazı epigrafik ve arkeolojik delillere atıfta bulunarak incelemektedir. Nabatî toplumuna dair malumatın çoğu, Greko-Romen kültürüne ait yazılı kaynaklara dayanır ve bunlar her zaman tarafsız değildi. Zira epigrafik ve arkeolojik kaynaklar bize, Nabatî kadınların siyasette, ayin faaliyetlerinde, sosyal hayattaki yerlerini, kıyafetlerini ve mücevheratını ve onların mülkiyet haklarını daha iyi anlamamıza imkân sağlayan yeni bilgiler sunmaktadır.
