Women managed the household slaves and even lived in a separate part of the house.

Wealthy Women: Women married to wealthy men were often confined to their homes. Their jobs were to manage the household and to bear sons for the husband. They lived in a separate area of the home from the men and even ate their meals separate from the men. They had servants who helped with raising the children, doing household chores, and running errands. Most women, even wealthy women, helped to weave cloth for the family's clothing.
 
Poor Women: Poor women often had more freedom than wealthy women because they couldn't afford as many slaves."
