What were spartan girls encouraged to do?

Answer 1

Spartan women had cultural, economic, military and social roles similar to Spartan men. For Spartan men and women would have heeded the warning of the statement, A house divided against itself cannot stand. The reality was that they were vastly outnumbered, most likely at the rate of 8:1 or more, by the native peoples that they had conquered and enslaved. So it was Spartans against their own country's enslaved majority, and also Spartans against the differently organized, male-dominated Athenian powerholders of ancient Greece. Spartan survival therefore depended upon a strong sense of Spartan identity, and upon Spartan teamwork. So both men and women had to know how to defend, and perpetuate, their way of life. That meant athletic and military training, and reading and writing skills, for Spartan boys and girls. And that also meant Spartan men and women capable of defending themselves and their country, eligible for owning property, and skilled in running their estates. In essence, it was all Spartans for Sparta, and Sparta for all Spartans be they men or women [except in the case of officeholding, which wasn't open to women].

In sparta, the whole community's attention and energy was focused on militay. the girls and the boys went through military training, the girls so they can be strong enough to conceive and raise future soilders and the boys so they can grow up to be soilders. so yeah. this question kinda caught my attention cause we are studying this in my world studies class.

Answer 4

Almost all the same as the boys. Sparta is the first known Faction (was more a Kingdom rather a City-State as as most of Hellenic cities) in the ancient world that women had significant liberties in comparison with other Hellenic or non-Greek cities. At childhood, they would take part on the gymnasium along with the boys and be taught writing, reading, military education, music, poetry, gymnastics and dance. They would be naked during the gymnasium period and were also directed to discourage and humiliate boys on their training. Later as teens, they would assume their role as being the mothers of brave soldiers.
