Abstract

Etruscan written and visual resources provide us with information about Etruscan women and male - female relationships in Etruscan society and provide the oppurtunity to comment on this topic. In this article, the position of Etruscan women in society and her social status are discussed especially through written sources. The ancient authors’ perspectives on the relationship between men and women in Etruscan society and information about Etruscan women in the inscriptions are examined. It is mentioned how the written sources are a starting point for Etruscan researchers and how the researchers comments on the social status of Etruscan women give us a new perspective. As a result, it is emphasized that Etruscan, who have a multicultural structure, preserve their unique side.
