In ancient Egyptian society, women

Select one:

a. were confined to home and the fields.

b. could own and inherit property.

c. dominated the priesthood.

d. were unable to own property.

e. were married in elaborate formal ceremonies.

The correct answer is B. Could own and inherit property

Explanation:

Ancient Egyptian Society was mainly dominated by men; however, women were considered as equal in some aspects, for example, some women in Ancient Egypt were merchants or priests; also, they were legally equal, and some of them such as Cleopatra and Nefertiti held important political positions, which shows not all women were confined to home.

In the case of property, women could own and inherit property without their husbands or other men related to them influencing this; indeed, women had control over their properties and could even sell them. This aspect is relevant because in other comparable societies this was not possible as it were men who controlled all property or women could not decide over a property without men's permission. Thus, in Ancient Egyptian society, women could own and inherit property.
