How did women's rights differ in Greek and Persian civilizations during the classical era?

In classical Greek civilization, women's rights varied significantly by city-state, with women in Athens largely confined to domestic roles and lacking political rights, while those in Sparta enjoyed more freedom and could own property. In contrast, Persian women had more legal rights and could participate in social and economic activities, including owning property and managing businesses. However, women's experiences in both civilizations were shaped by social class and local customs. Overall, while both cultures restricted women's roles, Persian women generally had greater autonomy compared to their Greek counterparts.
