This chapter analyses the key gender issues throughout comparative legal history, from the Antiquity to the contemporary era. A wide array of subjects will be briefly touched upon, such as the traditional roles of men and women and their legal recognition, the legal status of women, the patriarchal patterns and the trends of their change, the interaction of religion and law in these areas. These various subjects all portray a millennia-long domination of the patriarchal system and the long and arduous struggle for gender equality. The text is mainly concerned with the Western legal systems, broadly speaking—European, Near-Eastern and American—showcasing individual legal systems in the Antiquity and Middle Ages, where differences during these times were greater, but focusing instead on key issues and areas of law in the Modern era, where convergence and common tendencies become more pronounced. By understanding these issues in their historical context, readers will gain valuable knowledge of the historical background of the current status of gender relations in the main legal systems of the world.

he longs to return to; he is torn between action and inaction, waiting and not waiting (.., ). Like all revengers, he is tied to stagnating memories of past injuries, whilst at the same time he is focused on the attainment of revenge in the future. This temporal discord is a conventional element of revenge tragedies, but also of the early modern stage and of early modern culture more broadly, and, as this book will argue, it is foundational to conceptualisations of both gender and time in the period. During the opening scene of The Revenger's Tragedy, Vindice reveals his own oscillation between a retrograde temporality of mourning, as represented by the skull, and a future-focused ambition to murder the Duke, represented by Opportunity, both of which are central to his revenging quest. By conjuring the figure of Opportunity he also creates the first of many metatheatrical moments in the play: he seems to be enquiring about both his brother's and the audience's readiness for the play itself to begin, as much as he is considering whether now is the right moment for his quest Figure  Geffrey Whitney, 'In occasionem', A choice of emblems (London, ), Zr
