On the contrary, the Israelites pioneered in nottreating women as 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 the above 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).
