In the second internet source we found:

Roman women were always under auythority of someone all their life. As a child they were under the authority of their fathers, then as they grow up they were under authority of their husbands and so on. Never in Rome were women allowed to run in elections or vote for a leader of Rome. For some time the women weren't even able to give advice or suggestions. Women in Rome had better conditions than the women in Athens and none of the women in Rome wanted to work because work was like a job for slaves in Ancient Rome.
