Description

Experience the exhibit live on Zoom! October 14, 2022 through February 19, 2023.

Enheduanna is the first writer identified by name in human history. She Who Wrote: Enheduanna and Women of Mesopotamia, ca. 3400-2000 B.C is the first exhibition to focus on the lives of women in the 3rd millennium B.C. Students will explore primary sources and artifacts representing women working in the economic, religious, and political spheres of city states and the world’s earliest empire. Enheduanna’s autobiographical writing reaches across millennia with a relatable voice speaking to issues of faith, power, and personal identity.
