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.

Ancient Greek democracy was a direct democracy - those who had political rights could go to the assembly and speak or vote personally. Modern democracies are indirect or representative democracies - which means that citizens can have a say in the government through representatives that have been elected by them. The other difference is that women did not have political rights in ancient times.
