During the Paleolithic era, the men would hunt and fish. The women would gather seeds, root vegetables, make tents, and in cooler climates, make clothes. Women's work involved tasks that could keep babies and children in the immediate area. Also a woman could collect vegetables every day to feed her children. Hunters and fishermen are not always successful. (Some younger women joined the men before their first pregnancy stopped them.)

So, the old stone age had an extremely distinct division of the work of the sexes. Since women produced about the same amount of food as they collected vegetables as men did hunting for meat, they were treated as equals although they received different treatment.

They would not be treated as equals at the time of marriage since a woman would have no say so concerning her husband.
