Women normally worked in the home in ancient Egypt.

They had the right to

-inherit lands, objects, and slaves

-apply for divorce

-keep all the money they went into the marriage with and get a third of their husbands money if they divorced, and claim extra money if they believed the divorce was their husbands fault

-choose who they married

-be witnesses, the accused, or the defendant in a court trial

-not marry if they choose not to

-live alone

-own objects, land and slaves

-to buy and sell goods as they pleased

Men and women in ancient Egypt were considered equal in the eyes of the law. They were one of very few Ancient civilizations to be this way. Women had more rights in Ancient Egypt (5000 years ago) than they do in many countries these days, or in Europe 300 years ago!

In Rome and Greece, women were considered the property of their husband or their father. They had no rights and were unable to make any decisions.
