It depends on which Ancient society you are referring to. There have been hundreds of thousands, it would be impossible to list every single one of them here. Some Ancient cultures treated women badly (Ancient Rome) and discriminated them. Others, such as Sparta, treated women the same as men - equally. Ancient Egyptians for most of their reign treated rich women as mini-goddesses and respected them, but treated the poor women with disrespect. The Aztecs are understood to have not discriminated women, but respected them. Men would hunt while women cooked and so on. For a civilisation specific answer, please re-ask your question giving a specific ancient civilisation.
