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.
