It was one of the first religions to treat women as people while at the same time protecting them. It did tend to encourage them to be in the home for safety and practicality, though.
Answer 2
The Israelites pioneered in treating women differently than they were being treated elsewhere.
- Israelite women could own property, could initiate court cases, could have their own servants, and could own fields and businesses. Compare this to other ancient societies, in which only land-owning mature males had any rights at all.
- 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).
- Several women achieved prophecy (Talmud, Megillah 14a).
- One of the Judges, Deborah, was a woman. Together with another woman named Jael, she brought about a great victory against Canaanite oppressors (Judges ch.4).
- 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.
- The righteous among the Israelites would treasure their wives (Proverbs 31:11); as Rabbi Akiva (2nd century CE) said, "All that I accomplished (in Torah) is hers (is thanks to her)" (Talmud, Ketubot 63a).

Do women have equal roles in judaism?
Answer 1Orthodox Judaism does not allow women to have equal roles. They believe they're in charge of the synagogue and the women are in charge of the home and raising their children.Answer 2The question of equality in Religious Judaism is not one about two people being able to perform the same tasks, but about people performing tasks of equal value. For example, who would say that a soldier who is part of an offensive strike against the enemy is not equal in valor, prestige, and patriotism to the soldier who stays within the nation's borders and fights on the defensive front. Answer 1 notes that the role of men and women in Religious Judaism are different, but does not make clear whether the role of women is worse than that of men.In nearly all forms of Liberal Judaism, women do have the same roles as men and are clearly their equals in the modern Western understanding of the term.
