Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is 3 Any woman who could read or write would be able to be trained as a physician.

Explanation:

Third option is correct because there were many female doctors in Egypt, which is shown by historical evidence. We even have the name Merit-Ptah, which is the first known female doctor in Egypt. She lived around 2900 BC.

First option is wrong, because women had right to be educated.

Second option is wrong because there is no evidence that only women could train women.

Last option is wrong as women were highly respected in the society. We even have examples of pharaoh who were women.
