Chapter 3: First Civilizations

Civilizations began their roots during the Agricultural Revolution, the Agricultural technology allowed people to produce a surplus of supplies to be enough for the large populations.The growing population meant that women in these civilizations had more then one child. In Egypt women were equal to mean. They were able to own land, and slaves. They had the power to sell land make their own wills to sign their own marriage contracts and to initiate a divorce. If this was going on during the early civilizations in Egypt why years later did women have to fight for these type of rights. What was it from this Egyptian civilization that saw women as equal as men were. Inequalities were mainly based on wealth, status and power.
