Some were political and military leaders, such as queen Esther or the judge Deborah. Or Miriam, the sister of Moses, was a spiritual leader.
Answer 1

Ancient Hebrew societies were largely male dominated. Polygamy was a common practice, but died out around the time Jesus was around. Women were considered the property of men, and in every way inferior to men. For example, the women would not eat with the men but instead eat while standing and serving the men. Women kept a distance from men on streets and were restricted from certain parts of the "Temple." They basically cooked, cleaned, farmed, and made bore children for the men, who they often times called "lord" or "master".

Answer 2

very much like modern society, with functions such as learning the law as a child, taking care of her household as married adult and producing children also in times of festivity it is mentioned in the Old Testament they had a prominent role in leading celebrations such as occurred during a nascent David's victories, The Exodus, and Jael's dispatching of Sisera while he slept in her tent.

Answer 3
  • Polygamy died out among Jews about one thousand years ago, unlike what the first answer claims. It was prohibited through a decree made by Rabbi Gershom. Before that, it was much more seldom than what the first answer claims. In the Talmud, for example, you have to search far and wide to attempt to find a single Sagewho had more than one wife. In the Tanakh also, with the exception of some of the kings, polygamy was rare.
  • Several women achieved prophecy (Talmud, Megillah 14a).
  • Israelite women could own property, could initiate court cases, could have their own servants, and could own fields and businesses. The Torah specifies marital rights for women (Exodus 21:10); and any husband who anguished his wife could expect Divine punishment (Talmud, Bava Metzia 59).
  • Women ate at the table (unlike what the first answer says), except during their menses. They were restricted from some parts of the Temple, but so were men (Mishna, Keilim ch.2).
  • A circumspect husband would seek out the advice of his wife (Genesis 31:3-16), because she could be trusted to supervise the goings-on in the home (Proverbs 31:27), just like a Chief Executive Officer.

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.
