It signifies a woman who holds a position of authority or influence, typically in a royal or noble context. The term is used to describe the queen mother or a woman of significant standing within the royal household.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the role of the queen mother was significant. She often wielded considerable influence in the royal court, sometimes acting as an advisor to the king or as a regent. The position of "gebirah" was not merely ceremonial; it carried real power and authority. This reflects the broader cultural context where women in certain positions could exert substantial influence in political and familial matters.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
