The evidence for the lives of non-royal Persian women comes almost exclusively from the Persian Fortification Tablets, a few small archaeological finds and comments concerning royal Persian women made by Greek writers including Herodotus. Despite this lack of evidence, we know a little of their legal rights, marriage and divorce customs, rights to own land and rights to be employed in work gangs and to manage these gangs. This source-based homework task is designed for students of the NSW Ancient History Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum.

The collection of primary sources and secondary sources were of the highest quality. The questions on the sources were well structured and were ranked from a simpler style to a type requiring a higher level of thinking. The year 12 students at our school certainly benefited from my purchase of this resource.
