Roman women had rights just about equal to men, but they still lived in a male dominated world. For example, a woman could not vote or run for public office. A woman, although she had the right to divorce, still had to have a male relative or guardian make the arrangements. A woman could only inherit a minimal amount from her husband or father. A woman could not join the army. Despite these restrictions, the Roman women had more equality with men than many of their ancient counterparts.
