I remember when i visited the site of Emain Macha this year, part of the tour included goin into this hut and seeing how they lived day to day. Women could leave their man at anytime if he became abusive, a drunkard, or just plain couldn't provide for her. And she takes her dowry with her! Women were almost equals.
funny how a civilization and culture considered barbaric were actually ahead in social structure, hygiene and swordcraft. Take that you filthy romanophiles!
