Women had equal rights under law, but were considered lower than men in the Egyptian society. Women were able to run their own business, own property, and become priestesses. It was especially so for those who came from wealth and a well respected background. Men could have more than one wife, pregnancy was praised and women gained respect. Only rarely did a woman become a pharaoh, mainly passed down from father to son.
