Egypt has a very long history of respecting and empowering women. Women could own, inherit, and manage property. They could also represent themselves in legal matters, which was quite progressive for the time. Marriage was central to Egyptian society, and women often married at a young age. While polygamy was practiced, most men had a single primary wife. Women participated in various occupations, including weaving, brewing, and even serving as priestesses in temples. Some held high-status positions, particularly in religious contexts. Women played significant roles in religious life, serving as priestesses and participating in rituals. Goddesses like Isis and Hathor were venerated, highlighting the importance of feminine aspects in spirituality. While elite women had more privileges and opportunities, women of lower classes still had essential roles within their families and communities. Their contributions were vital to the economy and daily life. Some women rose to power, like Hatshepsut, who became a pharaoh, and Cleopatra VII, who is well-known for her political acumen and relationships with Roman leaders.
