Best Answer

Egyptian Women:

-They could own property and carry business.

-->Allowed to become merchants, artisans, and priestesses.

-->Their religion was extremely important to Egyptians, so becoming a priestess was more of a "privilege".

-They had less power than men.

-Women were respected more than in other countries.

-They were rarely or never allowed to receive formal education.

Formal education: Attending school like any other children today.

-Got educated informally.

Informal education: Getting taught by their mothers (how to cook, clean the house, etc).

-Marriage arranged by parents

-Could keep their properties after divorce.

Mesopotamian Women:

-If divorced, they had no property.

-->Sometimes worked as slaves and prostitutes.

-Were allowed to become farmers, and noble women were allowed to become priestesses.

-Women's chores: grinding grain, caring for children, weaving cloth, preparing food and beer, etc.

-Higher classed women (nobles) lived in luxury with servants, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc.

This shows how they treated their women.

To summarize it, the women in Mesopotamia were treated really badly compared to the women in Egypt.
