In Sumer, men and women had distinct social roles, with men typically holding positions of power and authority in public life, such as in government and religion. However, women in Sumer did enjoy certain legal rights and could own property, run businesses, and participate in religious rituals. While there were some areas of equality in terms of legal status, the overall societal structure was patriarchal, limiting women's roles compared to men. Thus, while there were aspects of equality, significant gender disparities still existed.
