Abstract

Traditional historiography has insisted that Greek women, especially in archaic and classical times, had no paid jobs except prostitution and wet-nursing. Also, that women's movements were restricted to the gynaeceum. Through visual and written sources, we have researched many paid jobs that women carried out, directly contributing income to the family unit: saleswomen, florists, artists, tambourines, greengrocers, cloth manufacturers and a long etcetera of professions that they exercised obtaining money in exchange for their work. This paper aims to deconstruct the limits imposed by historiography on women in terms of their confinement in the gynaeceum, to bring the work they did to light, thus contributing to a more complete and real approximation of the situation of women in Greek antiquity, reappropriating a space that has always been feminine. This way we can deconstruct the traditional (and false) conception of women being restricted to the space of the gynaeceum.
