I found a PDF on “Women Under Paganism Before Christ” written from a Christian perspective. You may find it makes for an interesting read. Here’s the last paragraph, which pretty much shows the general tone or stance of this particular document. I quote:
“How grateful, then, should women be to that influence which has snatched them
from the pollutions and heartless slaveries of Paganism and given dignity to their higher natures. How misguided, how ungrateful is that woman who would exchange the priceless blessings which Christianity has brought to her for those ornaments, those excitements, and those pleasures which ancient Paganism gave as the only solace for the loss and degradation of her immortal soul.”

Some quotes:
“The simple fact is that there has historically always been gender inequality, whether the culture be pagan or Christian. The power of women varies from culture to culture, and it is certainly true that in some of these cultures women wielded considerably more dignity, respect, and power than they did in Medieval Europe. But to say that women were generally considered equal to or even superior to men is a ghastly exaggeration. Historical kingdoms, whether pagan or Christian, can brag very, very few ruling queens. ”

“Wiccans are quick to cite Christianity’s abhorrence with sex as being part of their dislike of women, since sex is associated in Christianity much more strongly with women than with men. While chastity was certainly respected within early Christianity, it was not as central as it later became, particularly among men. Priests, for example, were not originally expected to be celibate. Certain intellectual Roman pagans, on the other hand, were suggesting right at the time of Christianity’s early days that semen was the source of a man’s power. Therefore, ejaculation and the loss of sperm weakened the man. More drastic solutions to this issue including tying tight cords around the testicles and outright castration – a practice certain extreme Christian ascetics adopted in an attempt to retain spiritual strength.”
