Which statement best describes the status of women in Sumerian society?

Women in Sumerian society had much more rights than those in later Babylonian, Akkadian, and Assyrian cultures. Women could own property, run businesses with their husbands, become scribes or physicians, and serve as a witness or a judge in court. The rise of polytheistic religions also gave women roles as priestesses, as goddesses were worshipped as much as gods.
