Women constituted the keystone in the arch of Indian society. No doubt the Rig Vedic Women in India enjoyed high status in society and their condition was good. Even the women were provided opportunity to attain high intellectual and spiritual standard. As a general rule, women had less power than men in both Han China and Imperial Rome. Social and political structures were male dominated. In many societies, women’s primary roles revolved around motherhood and managing a household. While women in many different places and at different times had this in common, there were significant differences in how women performed these roles depending on kinship relations. The book explains all about gender role and women condition in ancient societies.
