Hi! My name is Dariana Naveo. I am in your Fall 2011 ANT 3145.

I come from a friendly, full-of-life, great cooking, loving Dominican-American home and am originally from Massachusetts. After three majors, three universities, and continuous full time work I can happily say I plan to successfully graduate this Spring 2012 with a BA in Anthropology. With a side of several classes specifically in Spanish and Women Studies.

For this project in particular I am interested in Gender in Ancient Mesopotamia. I am interested in knowing what were women roles were across the ancient empire in politics and religion. I am also interested in what was expected of them in their home and married life. For example, was it a social duty for them to marry in comparison to cultures where marriage was valued for women to gain power like in Ancient Egypt? Could women own land like their female Egyptian counterparts? I would like to see if I can find sufficient information on what role the Fertility Cults had on everyday Mesopotamian women as well. ||
