Talk:Legal rights of women in history

message: This page is at the moment only someone's (probably college) essay. It has some good information, but it needs a serious reworking, perhaps a complete rewriting, to be put into the proper Wikipedia format. Queerudite 00:50, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: So who the heck is going to rewrite this thing? I feel like it's pointless even editing it as it is. Alexander 007 04:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll rewrite it. It needs a scary amount of work but it looks like a valuable article. Kerowyn 09:27, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Yikes

message: The current article focuses almost entirely on Western Europe, specifically ancient Rome and Christain societies. It badly needs sections on Africa, India, Asia, and probably also the tribal societies of the Americas and Australia. Kerowyn 09:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Ypu have to realise, that women's rights were greatly different before christianity in Europe. In Scandinavia, for example, women's rights were much better during Pagan times. --85.226.44.190 (talk) 09:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Before christianity

message: Removed and replaced with the introduction to the women in Rome page, it as it was before had maybe 1-2 correct facts that are not at best half truths. It doesn't surprise me that the way it stands now features no source.

thread_title:  Roman section 

message: This section was written from a distinctly skewed perspective. I have re-written it including adding information about various rights and protections women had equivalent, or, at times, moreso than men. -- Avi (talk) 04:14, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mosaic law

message: "East" is meaningless in an encyclopedia about the world for citizens of the world, that happens to be written in English - see e.g. WP:BIAS. i've restructured this to better match the pattern of the African, European and Middle East regions. 
i've removed the reference: http://web.archive.org/web/20091027173742/http://www.geocities.com/~abdulwahid/hinduism/hindu_women.html because 
* it starts out expressing an opinion rather than listing facts. Even the facts, in the form of the hymns are not correct according to accepted translations
* it is a geocities page, so there's no suggested checking of facts procedures by the website except for a single user
* i could not find the author
The source has no chance of being accepted as a WP:RS. 
The two sections - Hindu law and Sikh law - still need a huge amount of work: this is an article about legal rights of women in history. The content of the sections should focus on this. Boud (talk) 08:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The entire section on Judaism contains not a single reference.  THIS is why Wikipedia is a joke in contemporary society.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.161.163.35 (talk) 18:48, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  THIS is What Makes Wikipedia a Joke 

message: "The laws of Athelstan contained a peculiarly brutal provision for the punishment of a female slave convicted of theft: She was to be burned alive by eighty other female slaves." Athelstan is commonly misunderstood as having an odd fixation on theft. In reality 'theft' became a catch all term for all manner of crimes including breaching the peace and disloyalty, crimes committed as often by powerful notables as lowly slaves. My source here is The Age of Athelstan by Paul Hill. LastDodo (talk) 12:17, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
