Best Answer

Women were treated differently in different regions and poles (city states), though always considered inferior to men. In Athens they were very limited, and women of nobility were basically just emprisonned in their houses. Ordinary women were allowed to go outside to fetch water from public springs. In Sparta women were honored because they gave birth to new soldiers for the polis, and had several rights Athenian women did not have, they could own private property for example, and were usually managing everything cause their men folk were always off to war. SO it depends on the region and the polis.

In Athens they were little regarded, in Sparta a lot more/

They were bearers and raisers of children and looked after the home and vegetable garden. The exception was Sparta where wives had rights equivalent to males, within their physical ability.
