The inhabitants of the ancient Maghreb were interested in various economic aspects from grazing, hunting and farming to the practice of industry and trade, and in particular that they were famous for their two basic characteristics: agricultural and pastoral nature.

In order to seize it, but what is overlooked in the matter who is the owner of this achievement? Everyone thinks that the man and the head of the family is responsible for these various economic activities, but what the archaeological sources prove is the opposite.

So whoever carried out these tasks and contributed to their development, the woman at the time, her role in her home was not limited to procreation and raising children only, but rather greater than that.

She invaded several fields that were the preserve of men, so she practiced hunting and grazing, and then she was guided to the means of agriculture, so she was considered the first discoverer of her, so she practiced agriculture and domestication of animals.

On her possession of wealth and lands, she was allowed to enter the world of trade from the widest doors.

Therefore, women are considered the ones who have the credit for the advancement of the economy in the countries of the ancient Maghreb
