Answer:
Yes, they should've had equal power to men and respected more than they were. The role of Mesopotamian women in their society was primarily that of wife, mother, and housekeeper. Girls in that time period did not attend the schools run by priests or scribes unless they were royalty. Girls stayed home and learned the household tasks they would perform when they grew up and got married expected to conceive children (specifically males). There is nothing wrong with wanting children over education but that isn't what they wanted, it was what men wanted and expected of them. Male or Female should have the same opportunity and power as anyone who deserves it. I don't think any gender should have more just because of what's in your pants, that's out of your control and not your choice to make. women should have equal power and education opportunities as males and they should be able to think for themselves as anyone should.
