How did the role of women change as farming became more routine?

With the development of agriculture and specialization,
most societies moved to a patriarchal social framework. Previously, when people were
basically hunters/gatherers, there was little gender distinction, as all participated,
although men were primarily hunters and women gatherers. With the development of
agriculture, humans became less mobile, and tended to live and work in designated areas.
With this development, men became primarily responsible for farming, marketing crops,
etc. and women became responsible for child rearing and chores which normally would be
performed near or in the household. Men became recognized as the heads of household and
had substantial authority over women and children, sometimes even the power of life and
death. Some societies remained matrilineal, with lineage traced from the mother; but
even these societies were strongly male oriented.
