Answer 1

Answer:

Theodora raised the reputation of women

Explanation:

Theodora was a Byzantine empress, married to Justinian. Her performance in the government is often considered better and more efficient than that of her husband, making her a great ruler and a great influence on all governmental factors. She was as beautiful as she was intelligent and made a point of raising the reputation of women in her government by developing laws that would allow women to have established and respected rights, prohibiting trafficking in girls, changing divorce laws, so that women would not be impaired or devalued, among others.
