TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Xenophon's Oeconomicus, a fourth-century BCE Greek manual of estate management, to explain how labour in the household (oikos) is divided according to gender.
Abstract: Major topics that feature in the capable wife's portrait in Prov xxxi 10-31-domestic manufacture of clothing, female responsibility for food, and the upper-class wife's supervision of the slaves' indoor work-can also be illustrated from Xenophon's Oeconomicus, a fourth-century BCE Greek manual of estate management This treatise also explains how labour in the household (oikos) is divided according to gender Unlike her Athenian counterpart, the Hebrew wife seems able to own and manage landed property from which she derives independent income The rule 'one conjugal household, two estates'-the wife's and the husband's separate estates-may sum up the economic situation presupposed, but not explained, by the poem While the Hebrew poem celebrates only the contribution of the wife, we should not forget that it was her husband who provided the household's economic basis, presumably from an agricultural estate

TL;DR: The authors explored the challenges of making women's creative filmed work visible, suggesting that women's amateur films exist at a crucial overlap of archival oversight and cultural stigma, and argued that only by reconsidering the types of films that are prioritised for preservation and presentation can women's films be made fully visible.
Abstract: This article considers the place of women’s amateur film within regional and national film archive holdings through a specific case study of the ‘Women Amateur Filmmakers in Britain’ project at the East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA). Reflecting on the process of cataloguing and presenting this collection, the article will explore the challenges of making women’s creative filmed work visible, suggesting that women’s amateur films exist at a crucial overlap of archival oversight and cultural stigma. We argue that prevailing associations of archive film with space, place and location could prevent feminist-led projects from gaining traction in the contested world of exhibition where locality often overshadows other thematic or stylistic approaches. We argue that only by reconsidering the types of films that are prioritised for preservation and presentation can women’s films be made fully visible.
