In her dissertation, which was revised and greatly abridged in 2006 under the title Who Weaved Athene's Garb? The work of women in ancient Greece was published by Campus and uses literary and figurative sources to illuminate the productive activities of women within the ancient Greek house, a topic that is hardly considered in the classical studies. It shows that the domestic work performance of women was a factor that substantially constituted their social role in society. In the last part of her book, Reuthner dedicates himself to the manufacture of textiles. In the previous reception history women appeared as "amateur housewives" who, incapable of great art, took care of their own everyday needs alone, Rosa Reuthner proves that in ancient Greece it was women in particular who were famous for valuable and artistic woolen work. while the workshops of the male weavers used only coarse linen. “By rediscovering the" essential part "of housework in the prosperity of the polis, Reuthner comes to a reassessment of the position of women as a whole. So for them the image of the man as the "Oikosdespoten" ( Habermas ) is unsustainable . Instead of a hierarchical model, as it was later designed by Pseudo-Aristotle , a "functional separation of responsibilities, authorizations and decision-making powers" was to be assumed with regard to the flourishing of the house. ”( Richard Pohle ( FAZ ) on: Wer wove Athenes Robes? )

In 2013, the follow-up volume, Plato's Sisters. Life worlds of ancient Greek women , Reuthner extended her investigations to the tasks of women in ancient Greece in various spheres. It describes the areas of activity of women, including as doctors or healers, horticulturists and saleswomen in the market and shows that the role and work of women were not, as long assumed, limited to the domestic sphere.
