The statement that best describes the status of women in ancient Egyptian society is "Women in ancient Egypt had many legal rights, including the right to own property and businesses."
Although women in other regions had minimum rights and were segregated to household activities, in ancient Egypt had an important place in society. Women had legal rights, could own property, had equal rights to men. One of the most notorious differences between men and women was that women could not occupy government and authority jobs as men did. They could work in many kinds of jobs and select their men in marriage.
