The role of women in Egypt has changed throughout history, from ancient to modern times. From the earliest preserved archaeological records, Egyptian women were considered equal to men in Egyptian society, regardless of marital status.
The legal rights of women expanded throughout the 20th century. However, legal inequality persists as current laws "establish significant differences between women and men, in terms of both marriage and divorce rights."[5]
