Analysis of of a Women's Role

In Athenian's society women weren't really better than slaves were. People's of Athen's denied them any type of education and equality. Women had to stay in their homes and could have little time to talk to men. At about 15, or when a girl goes through puberty they are married to a man that was twice their age. The women would have to raise the kids, however many without the father. When her husband and friends are eating, she couldn't eat with them. Women didn't have any military training and education depended on the man. Women however could own land and took part in athletic events. The women ran everything since the men were away.
