Old Kingdom. Ancient Egyptian Women - Their Rights and Daily Life. Ancient Egyptian women had a lot of rights that other women of the ancient world did not.
In fact, compared to women of someparts of the world today, they are considered quite lucky! Still, they were not equal to men of the same social rank and were subjected to a stricter existence. Of course their lives, compared to modern standards, were much more difficult. Egyptian girls married young (age 10) and spent the majority of their days in housekeeping, child bearing, nursing, and child rearing.
