This book explores the history of women's rights, delving into evidence that challenges the commonly held belief that women's rights are a product of modern civilization. The author argues that women enjoyed a higher status and greater legal protections in ancient and medieval societies than is commonly recognized. The book traces the origins of marriage, divorce, and property rights for women, examining how these rights and roles have evolved over time. It also discusses the influence of religion, particularly Christianity, on the status of women and the role of the Church in both elevating and suppressing women's rights. The author concludes that the history of women's rights is a complex and evolving one, marked by both progress and setbacks. By examining the past, this book sheds new light on the present, challenging us to rethink our assumptions about women's roles in society and the origins of their rights.
