الملخص EN

The role of women in the Zayani era was not limited to household chores such as cooking, cleaning and caring for husband and children, but also to contribute to various fields of political, military, economic and cultural life.

Historical sources have referred to her prominent role in the exercise of political functions such as negotiating and reaching agreements, as was the case with “Saout Ennisa” mother of Yaghmorasen ben Zayan.

As for the military, it supported the combatants by encouraging and supporting the army, and it even had intelligence missions.

The woman of the Zayani era did not fail to participate in economic life, as she mastered several trades, such as weaving, spinning, and was probably involved in working the land and in animal husbandry.

Zayani women were also present on the cultural scene, some of them having appeared in the process of teaching, preaching and counseling.
