Islam teaches that woman is complementary to man and is the other half of human being. She has the same rights and duties as man. She is responsible of her doings and sayings in front of God on the day of judgement. Prophet Muhammad instructed Muslims to deal with women kindly and with sympathy. He said that the Paradise is under the feet of mothers.
Further answer
The above answer is the official teaching of Islam, in the same way that Women in History are officially regarded as equal in the Christian Church.
However, there are those of some religions who would oppress women and cherry pick passages from either The Bible or Koran to enable their own prejudices to be backed up by 'scripture'. In this way, throughout history, women have been oppressed and treated harshly by those who have interpreted scripture wrongly to suit their own ends. This results in some Islamic states treating women as second class citizens - for example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, nor can they get a similar education to men.
This, although Islam officially regards women as equal to men, there are many cases where they are treated as inferior. This prejudice is not restricted to Islam however, as both the Christian Church and Judaism are also both guilty.
