The primary role of the Spartan woman was to bear children for the state. The Spartan woman could choose her own husband. A man was allowed to take any woman he wanted to be his wife, but if she did not want him, she was free to fight to prevent him from having her and could kill him if she chose and was able. The Spartan woman told her men as they went to war, husband or son, "Come back carrying your shield or on it".

In Spartan society, slaves, known as helots, played a crucial role in supporting the economy and military. They were primarily responsible for agricultural labor, allowing Spartan citizens to focus on military training and governance.

So the society had different levels - the Spartiates, the perioci (livers about - non Spartan landowners) and the serfs. All the Spartan males were warriors, and as they didn't have to farm to support themselves, were able to direct themselves to military training.
