Women in ancient history played many important roles that are often overlooked in traditional education. For example, women in ancient Egypt were able to own property, inherit land, and even serve as pharaohs. In ancient Greece, women were responsible for managing the household, educating children, and participating in religious ceremonies. In ancient Rome, women held positions of power as priestesses, business owners, and even gladiators. These examples show that women in ancient history were not simply passive figures, but active participants in society with their own agency and influence.
