Yes. Even the Hebrews, whose cultural norms were far more draconian than the New Testament Christians, allowed women to work outside the home (Proverbs 31:24), own property (Proverbs 31:16) and be head of a household (inasmuch as there was no husband to fill that role). Refusing to reproduce would be unusual for anyone of that time as children were almost essential for labor and security in old age. I'm not even sure how she would do that as contraception was iffy at best. Abortion was frowned upon by almost every civilization at that time.
