In page Terem (Russia):

"

On the whole, however, the abolition of the terem greatly improved the legal and social status of noblewomen in Russia. The decision followed on the heels of Peter's 1714 decree which abolished the distinction between military land grants and hereditary estates, giving women the ability to inherit all her husband's lands.[4] Socialization and new forms of leisure and luxury obliterated the terem and female seclusion as an institution. Women, by law, were now allowed to have a say in the choice of their marriage partners and the education of elite women was made a priority, later carried out by Catherine the Great.[citation needed]
