The Women of Agamemnon A woman’s role in ancient Greek life was far less significant when compared to that of Greek men. Greek women’s jobs were mainly to run the household and bear children. Women had very little rights in Greek society. In Tragedies women were often the main focus revealing to us how women were treated and also how they were thought of in society (Marschke).

agriculture does not employ as many women in Bangladesh. This explains a large part of the low participation rates for especially poor women. Occupational sex segregation is a likely deterrent to moving across jobs for women. Only 10 percent employed women and 22 percent of employed men aged 20-55 receive any cash wages.
