ancient civillisations

i think that at that time i would not want to be a woman as i would not be able to fight for my own rights and i will get bullied by men.also i may be homeless if my husband die and i have no children as i am not allowed to have any asset or property.i will not be respected and not be educated so iwill just be living to cook make cloth.if you live this type of life, is`n it not meaningful?sigh
