Students could use a copy of Hammurabi's Laws to discover what rights women did and did not have in ancient Mesopotamia. They could then do research to compare the lives of women in Mesopotamia with the roles and social status of women in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, or the ancient Americas. They could also find out when women in the United States became legally able to buy and sell land, own a business, serve on a jury, and vote.
