religion in river civilization
We see the continuity of religion throughout the paleolithic period to the rise of civilizations. in the hunting and gathering society, religion played a key role through rituals such as burying the dead and role of Goddesses was prominent. Women and men had equal contributions in society and this was also representative in religion. As one moved foward, polytheism continued. Gods were used to explain phenomenon of nature as well as reinforce civic loyalty. Progression to river civilizations in Mesopotamia ie babylon and Hammurabi's laws outlined some of these rules in society. If the river god Adad flooded your farm you were exempt from your tax burden to the state.

The religious roles of women in buddhism, social, economic *Religious- In the buddhist religion women were allowed to participate in rituals, and become nuns where they dedicate their lives to the divine spirit. *Social- Women where considered equal in the eyes of the divine spirit they where not under men, nor where men beneath them. Every man and woman was equal. They had social equality. There where also the monks, nuns, and bodhisattvas. *Economic- Since women used Buddhism as a way to escape the harsh social hierarchy of Confucianism and where then able to own land I can assume they had a role in the economy. I couldn?t find anything on what they really did.
