Sparta. Spartan women were somewhat unique in ancient Greece for their engagement in exercise and for wearing relatively short tunics that showed their legs. Some scholars speculate that their fitness contributed to their reputation for being among the most beautiful women of antiquity. Women in Sparta were also responsible for the management of the estates as men were busy training and fighting most of the time. (This mainly applies to the Spartan upper class.) Finally Spartan women were expected to place the Spartan state above all else, including their own maternalism. Spartan women gave up their children at a tender age (prepubescent) to state run military training, and were expected to celebrate, rather than grieve, the noble death of their children in battle.
All that said, i would not want to over-state the aspects of gender equality in Sparta or anywhere in ancient Greece; for the most part it was an exceedingly patriarchal, and male dominated society. Relative to Athens, however, Spartan women enjoyed a much greater latitude of personal freedom and responsibility (many Athenian women of the upper class could not leave their homes unacompanied by male relatives).
