They lived more or less like rural Afghan women today: kept in women's quarters, and more or less at the mercy of their husbands or fathers. Because of lack of excercise and the risks of childbirth their median life expectancy was about 35 years.

The big exception were Spartan women who were equal to men, exercised together with them and walked around freely, could own property and were by law protected from early marriage and early pregnancies.

In ancient Greek democracy women were?

In ancient Greek democracy, particularly in Athens, women were largely excluded from political life and did not have the right to vote or participate in civic affairs. Their roles were primarily confined to the domestic sphere, focusing on household management and child-rearing. While some women, particularly in Sparta, had more freedoms and responsibilities, overall, ancient Greek society was patriarchal, limiting women's public influence and rights. Thus, their contributions were often overlooked in the context of democratic ideals.
