Q. hi, Im looking for articles relating to Mesopotamia and Egyptian societies and their roles that women had.

Go to the Library's home page and click on the Databases A -Z list. On the next page click on the Gale Virtual Reference Library link. On the search page, in the search box at the top type in Mesopotamia AND women. There are several entries that looked like they would be useful. Do the same for Ancient Egypt AND women. Several articles in these search results should be helpful, too. If you still aren't finding what you want, please stop by the reference desk and one of the other librarians can help you.
