Ancient Roman Women Analysis

From the earliest years of ancient times, women’s status was defined by their relationship to men. Since early historical times, women have been considered not only intellectually inferior to men but also a major source of temptation and evil. When we read back about Ancient Roman, the law speaks and describes how the women and children were forever inferior to men. As we probably would think this is mainly biology, however, is more than that; it is also a product of the historical domination of women by men. In ancient western civilizations, cultures like Romans maintained the status of women to be clearly defined as inferior to men either through script law, or custom that is understood and obeyed by everyone in these cultures.

The astrologer would determine if, by the time and date of their births, the children were compatible. As a woman's thoughts and opinions were not considered important, the father's word was final on who his daughter would marry.

Just as we are designed to do today it is a very important role of life for both partners and to maintain a stable house and to reproduce. Another important aspect along with this was seen primarily in philosophical, texts, and literary that sex was sorely needed to redress their ignorance of a subject that was central to the ancient Chinese tradition. This also leads them to have a population growth as well as in many other civilizations. The Ancient Asian culture was very strict when it came women and their families. (Goldin) However, just like the Romans it really all depended on the statuses of the women for how they survived.
