Hello all<br>
<br>
Although the ultimate aim of this thread is for living history and the involvement of women within it, I thought it best to place it in here so we can review evidence etc ...<br>
<br>
I have wondered about the actual professional roles available to women particularly during the Empire.<br>
<br>
Typically women are considered just within the confines of the home, but where there professional women (other than prostitutes) during the Empire? I have seen a woman that looks like an accountant in a butchers shop an dthe following image of a woman in a poultry shop (courtesy of [url=http://www.vroma.org" target="top]www.vroma.org[/url]<br>
<br>
I assume that they must have been employed in some form of professional capabilities in some areas of the Empire at some time, any thoughts, writings or evidence would be great.<br>
<br>
