Outside of the Biblical text, there is plenty of evidence that women did not have societal equallity in the middle east. In fact, they still don't. However, the Bible doesn't even make the case that women are not equal. It simply states the "tradition" role of women to not be the leaders in society.

I cant say much for the equality of women in those times as ive never studied the bible against the cultures "true" history. I do belive however the bible to be shovinistic and plays down the importance of women and their true potential power... that and i think god (if she is to be personified) is female. Though ultimately im no longer christian in the classic sense and dont belive in god as a being that can be personified.
