| Zusammenfassung: | Dutiful and less than dutiful wives -- Giving birth : labor, nursing, and care of infants in house-church communities -- Growing up in house-church communities -- Female slaves : twice vulnerable -- Ephesians 5 and the politics of marriage -- Women leaders of households and Christian assemblies -- Women leaders in family funerary banquets / Janet H. Tulloch -- Women patrons in the life of house churches -- Women as agents of expansion -- Conclusion: discovering a woman's place This focused look at women in the household context discusses the importance of issues of space and visibility in shaping the lives of early Christian women. Several aspects of women's everyday existence are investigated, including the lives of wives, widows, women with children, female slaves, women as patrons, household leaders, and teachers. In addition, several key themes emerge: hospitality, dining practices, and the extent of female segregation. |
