Women did not have any role in Judaism except to take care of the household, which meant she was to clean the house do all the house chores and to cook as well. When a girl reached the adult age they did not get a ceremony like the boys do to welcome their new life into adulthood. Their hair has to be covered when they go out into public to show respect, for example if she is married she has to do cover herself. Woman roles are now changing in Judaism, before women were not allowed to be Rabbi's only men were, but now they can choose that as their career. Back then they were not allowed to have a ceremony when they reached a certain age, but now girls have their own ceremony just like the boys have their bar mitzvah.
