Women in the Middle East

Explanation:

The first agricultural practices, at least from what is known so far, happened in the Middle East, in the so called ''Fertile Crescent'', where a new way of life of the humankind began. At the beginning, mostly the women in this societies were involved in the agriculture, as they still hadn't perfected it enough to produce surplus amounts of food, and the man were still involved in hunting in the surrounding area. Over time, that changed, and both women and men became primarily focused on agriculture.
