Journal Article
Guardianship of Women in Late Antique Egypt
2021
Overview
In late antiquity, women could carry out various legal and business transactions not necessarily under the supervision or guardianship of men but in the presence of their husbands, or male children, or a relative who usually accompanied them in their transactions to the city authorities or laws. The Pater Familias never lost his power over his children, his family, and their possessions. Motherhood was one of the main ways in which women managed to escape custody and gain legal independence. But widows were always considered weak to defend their rights and property and often sought the help of the city's legal authorities. Undoubtedly, women even in late antiquity were much less privileged than men but active members as mothers and wives in the family.
