No,Muslim women in Muslim societies have same full rights as Muslim men. The Muslim woman and Muslim man roles in Islamic societies are complementing each other. They participate in working for the benefit of their communities with activities that are suitable to them. They are leaders in many aspects of society activities in many Islamic countries including political presidency. Of course, they speak for themselves in all aspects of life and work. If in some places they deprive women from some rights, then this is attributed to the country local traditions and practices and never related to Islam religion.
