Özet:

 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 womenss group working in these places is mentioned as MUNUS.MEŠSUHUR.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.

 Hititlerde kadınların birçok farklı görevlerde yer aldığı bilinmektedir. Siyasi hayat kadar, ekonomik ve sosyal yaşamda da kendisine yer bulan kadınlar, günlük olarak yaptıkları işlerin yanı sıra; saray, tapınak gibi devlet kontrolünde olan yerlerde de çeşitli görevlerde bulunmuşlardır. Bu yerlerde görev alan kadın grubundan birisi, Sumerce MUNUS.MEŠSUHUR.LÁ ismiyle zikredilir. Kendisiyle ilgili hizmetçi kadın, hierodul gibi çeşitli tanımlamaların yapıldığı bu kimseler; birçok farklı belgede karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bazen saray içerisindeki olayların başkahramanı olarak karşımıza çıkan bu görevliler, bazen ritüellerde yer almakta, bazen de kendilerine büyük bağışlar yapılarak, bir hizmetçi statüsünden ziyade, daha üst düzey kimselerin sahip olabileceği olanaklarla donatılmışlardır. Birçok farklı görevi üstlenen bu kadınlar, özellikle dini içerikli olmak üzere, diğer metinlerde de birçok kez belgelenmiş ve Hitit dünyasındaki yerlerini almışlardır.
