Answer:

Status of women in Ancient India

In ancient India, the women enjoyed an equal status  with men in all fields of life.

Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjal iand Katyayana suggest that women were educated in the  early vedic period

Rig vedic verses suggest that the women married at a mature age and were probably free to select their husband .

Women in Early Medieval India

Caste and the position of women in society are interrelated. The practice of widow burning or sati became fairly common all over India by the eleventh century among the widows of rulers, nobles and warriors. Some evidence like the Lekhapaddhati — a collection of documents from Gujarat — also show that women could be bought and sold as slaves, and were made to do all kinds of work, including the dirtiest and toughest kinds. They were also subject to physical and sexual violence. On the other hand, women employed as professional dancers in royal courts and the deva-dasi or temple courtesans appear to have been another large class of women.
