Is there any verses in the quran that talk about women are equal to men?

Asalaamu Alaakum,

You can try Surah 4 An-Nisaa (The Women)

For starters here is Surah 4:19

4:19. O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good. S P C
