In my opinion, Islam has given women something which no other religion gave her. And that something is her "individual identity". It implies that a woman has individual and independent rights like social, political, economical, religious, marriage and cultural rights. She is entitled to all these self-governing rights in Islam.
But every right has a corresponding duty which ensures the harmony in society and happiness of all. Hence, her rights are for herself and her duties (not religious duties) are what she owe to others.
As far as suppression of woman's rights is concerned, I believe she is equally responsible. This is because women never really tried to find their real place in Islam. They left this job on men to interpret for them. But what can I say about woman's treatment in my country ? A country where people raise loud religious slogans without knowing the essence of religion which is tolerance and patience.
