9. Ancient Egypt 
Ancient Egypt is one of the most fascinating and romanticized historical eras. Cleopatra, Marc Anthony, the pyramids, the pharoahs, the Sphynx…. On top of all that, it was a pretty good time to be a woman. Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Cleopatra: A Life, Stacey Schiff tells O Magazine, “Women enjoyed rights in Egypt they would not again enjoy for more than 2,000 years. They owned ships, ran vineyards, filed lawsuits, practiced medicine. Their husbands supported them after divorce. Their power was unprecedented.”
