Today, women are treated well, which was not the case in the past.
Today’s women are treated well, unlike those in the past.
In the past, women were not treated well. Today, they are.


Thanks!

Traditionally, Woman are not treated well, these days woman are treated well”

 

As it stands, it is a comma splice, and woman shouldn’t be capitalized.

Another alternative to Sapparis’s could be this:

 


Today, woman are treated well whereas in the past they were not.
