The Conditions of Women in Arabia Before Islam
http://www.themuslimwoman.com/herrights/womensrights.htm
At the beginning Islam was the most revolutionary liberalization of women's rights the civilized world has ever seen. But afterwards Muslims became ignorant of this and now some Muslim countries are the scene of some of the worst abuses of women's rights. As the Latin proverb says, "Corruptio optimi pessima" (When the best is corrupted, it becomes the worst). The Qurân expresses the same theme in Sûrat al-Tîn: "We created man in the best pattern, and later reduced him to the lowest of the low."
Think of the possibilities for liberalization based on purely Islamic sources, not taking anything from the modern West. That would be truly Islamic feminism. The origin of Islam is far more liberal and feminist than what subsequent generations made of it.

OK then. What are women's rights in Islam?
In a truly Islamic society women have the following rights in Islam:
* The right and duty to obtain education.
*The right to have their own independent property.
*The right to work to earn money if they need it or want it.
*Equality of reward for equal deeds.
* The right to participate fully in public life and have their voices heard by those in power.
*The right to provisions from the husband for all her needs
*The right to negotiate marriage terms of her choice.
* The right to obtain divorce from her husband, even on the grounds that she simply can't stand him.
* The right to keep all her own money
* The right to get sexual satisfaction from her husband.
and more...
Here is an article taken from a speech which details some of these rights:

"Why do Muslim women wear the hijab?"
Many people wonder if she wears the hijab everywhere (at home, when sleeping, in the shower). The truth is that Muslim women only cover themselves in front of men who are not direct relatives (brothers, fathers, and uncles) to prevent indecent acts or thoughts.
