Women were able to participate in rituals but they were still viewed as inferior and property of a man, whether it be their husband or their father. The portrayal of women in Hebrew and Persian society in the Bible is similar but certain aspects of female life were better in one society. Both books feature powerful women who break out of the typical gender roles of that time period. In Exodus the Pharaoh commanded the Hebrew midwives kill
