Agriculture and the Founding of Civilization.

In the ancient world, the famously fierce Greek province of Sparta was unique in that it allowed women and men the same levels of (basic) education on an identical curriculum, and let them interact scholastically instead of segregating them. And India, according to the evidence of texts from the 7th and 8th centuries, viewed women traveling to university to study as pretty normal, and saw women intellectuals as perfectly capable of interrogating other academics.

Elsewhere, however, women's education was much more paltry. In ancient China, for instance, women were often educated only in social roles and correct behavior, with the idea that this information could make them good family assets and fine wives. So the women who were able to access education in ancient times were often exceptions rather than rules: for instance, the Platonic Academies of ancient Greece were open-air philosophical schools that allowed occasional exceptional adult women, like Plato's student Lastheneia (who attended dressed as a man) and the famous mathematical polymath Hypatia.
