∙ 9y agoWomen in ancient India are reported to have enjoyed equal status as men. They were educated and had the freewill to marry of their own choice. According to the Rigvedic scriptures. Women held high status in all walks of life. There are many notable women sages as well such as Maitri and Gargi.

∙ 13y agowomen rights were pretty good, they had rights and were able to inherit property,but the formation of social structures of a non agricultural middle class caused them to lose their rights of owning or inheriting properties.Were expected to obey fathers,husband and then sons.Were married at early age, about 6 or 7 to make sure they were "pure".Though some women found freedom in Buddhist religious communities or women from powerful families were trained in music or art as well as sexual pleasure...um hookers :/

How were men and woman treated differently in ancient Egypt?
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.
