Women in a Male-dominated SocietyNo works citedAs the only girl among forty male classmates in an electrical engineering class, my aunt Ana had a feeling very uncomfortable, which she had never felt before. She will probably always remember the teacher's discussions and questions in class, where she always remained silent, without participating in discussions or answering questions, while almost everyone else gave answers or comments. What would it look like if she gave the wrong answer? Her co-workers might think that Ana is in the wrong place or that she's just another girl trying to be smart. The same story repeated itself every week. Every time she walked into that class, she kept her head down and looked at the floor.

In both the Roman Empire and ancient Byzantine Greek, the role of women in society created and imposed by a man was that a woman was only good for raising children and being a housewife.
