It was different for them because they had rights unlike in Athens, where they were slaves.
The social status of women in Sparta were to produce healthy sons for the army. The social status of women in Athens women had no share in public life.
Women in Sparta had more freedom and equality compared to women in Athens. In Sparta, women received physical education, could own property, and participate in public life. Meanwhile, in Athens, women had limited rights, were primarily responsible for household duties, and had no political rights.
The women were free and part of civic life. In Athens women were kept in virtual purdah, running the home and raising children.
I believe it was Sparta that did not have women participate in public life.

The men earned a living, indulged in social life, politics and sports. The women stayed in the home, bearing and raising children, working in the garden and supervising slaves, getting out rarely for a women's religious festival.
daily life wasnt similar because women in Athenian women didnt have as many rights as Spartan women

Spartan women had more freedom compared to Athenian women because Spartan society valued physical fitness and military prowess, which required women to also be strong and independent. They were encouraged to participate in sports and education to raise strong sons for the military. In contrast, Athenian women were expected to stay at home and manage household affairs, with limited participation in public life or education.
Women in both Athens and the U.S. have become increasingly politically active over the years. In ancient Athens, women were largely excluded from formal political life, but today, women in the U.S. participate in politics at all levels, from local offices to Congress. The rise of movements advocating for women's rights has further mobilized female participation in political discourse and activism. Overall, while the historical context differs significantly, modern women in the U.S. are more politically engaged compared to their ancient Athenian counterparts.
