It is known that women took part in many different tasks in the Hittites. Women, who find a place for themselves in economic and social life as well as in political life, besides their daily work also held various positions in places under state control such as palaces and temples. One of the womens’s group working in these places is mentioned as MUNUS(.MEŠ)SUHUR.LÁ in Sumerian. These people, for whom various definitions such as maidservant, hierodule are made; appears in various documents. These officials, who sometimes appear as the protagonists of the events in the palace, sometimes take part in rituals, and sometimes by making large donations to them, they are equipped with the opportunities that higher-level people can have, rather than a servant status. These women, who took on various tasks, were documented many times in other texts, especially with religious content, and took their place within the Hittite world.
