Those women were NOT living in poverty. They had access to the money, land and benefits of being upper class. They had servants and slaves. They didn't have to work or labor to survive.
While the law was clear that the men owned the money (I agree that this situation IS patriarchy btw), rich women enjoyed access to that money and power as well.
- magicalist 11y agoso it was a patriarchy and the men did have all the power and control of money and land and only passed those on to sons and...what exactly were you arguing against in this subthread again? There existed women in rich households? I think that was pretty obvious.
