This paper studies the role the women played in ancient Nabataean society in particular in legal, political and social life, in reference to some epigraphic and archaeological evidences. Most of the information concerning Nabataean society come from Graceo-Roman written resources and were not always unbiased. Therefore, the epigraphic and archaeological resources provide us with new information that leads us to a better understanding of the Nabataean woman in politics, ritual activities, social life, costumes and jewelry and her property rights.
