Not especially. In the days of the ancient empires, there was no "women's movement". Our concept of rights was not the concept of the ancients. The Roman women were content, for the most part, with their lives as they had privileges and considerations with very little responsibility. However that is not to say that they didn't know and use their power against the male legislators. Two public instances that come to mind are the women demonstrating against the Oppian laws and the demonstrations by the women against the taxes that the second triumvirate tried to impost on them. The girls won in both instances.
