Spartan women were more emancipated than any other women of the era: they could own and control land and property. They were respected within Spartan society, exercised regularly, mixed freely with men and could not be made to marry before their late teens.

Spartan society lived a kind of army barracks' existence. For the men that meant a strict and daily exercise and weapons training regimen until the were 60; for the women it meant that their children - if boys - were immediately tested for fitness, the unfit being taken out and left to die. The healthy boys would be taken away at age 7 to begin training.
