Kapampangan women in the pre-Spanish era held significant roles in their matrilineal society, which traced lineage and inheritance through the mother's line, giving them substantial influence and rights. They actively participated in agriculture, craftsmanship, and local trade, and were key figures in family and community leadership. Women served as priestesses (babaylanes), playing crucial roles in religious rituals and as healers. They had property and legal rights, could own and manage land, and were involved in decision-making processes. As custodians of oral traditions, they preserved and transmitted cultural heritage, ensuring the continuity of their customs and values.
