The role of Spartiate women in ancient Sparta was to produce healthy and strong babies that could become exceptional warriors. Therefore, as young girls they did not learn mundane 'home-care' tasks such as sewing and cooking - this was left to the Helots. Spartate girls were educated at home in the arts, music, dancing and poetry and were able to write letters. From a young age, female Spartiates ran around naked alongside the boys and competed in gymnastics, Wrestling, foot and horse races, and other required physical trials, all in the public's view.
Spartiate women are often referred to as the 'conscious' of Sparta as they would 'dob-in' any Spartiate (male or female) who was slacking-off. They have been documented to have been very outspoken, bold and extravagant.
Spartiate women could own their own land, it being passed down to them from their fathers or by inherenting it from their husbands who died in battle.
