Women in Ugarit and Israel: Their Social and Religious Posit...

This study investigates whether women in polytheistic societies, such as Ugarit, held more favorable social and religious positions compared to women in monotheistic societies like ancient Israel. By analyzing legal texts, religious practices, and societal norms, the work compares the roles and statuses of women in both cultures. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of gender dynamics in the ancient Near East.
