Answer: the women's apartments in an ancient Greek or Roman house.

Step-by-step explanation:

What was the gynaeceum used for?

The gynaeceum was usually the innermost room or rooms of the home, or sometimes even a separate building. In either case, it was occupied by the married woman of the household as well as any unmarried women and girls plus female slaves, and it was dedicated to “feminine” tasks like cooking and textiles work.
