Analysis of Women's Role

What was expected of women in the Athenian society was no more better than a slave. They married at the age of 15 and to a man that was twice their age. Their weren't allow to even eat with their husbands and his male friends.Women of spartan had much more freedom then women of Ancient Greece. They couldn't have any part of having a real job or getting any education. So their Role in Athenian society was basically like being a slave to their husbands. Doing what they needed them to do,cleaning up around the house, and taking care of their kids. So this is what was expected of the women of Athenian.
