Athens was technically a democracy so the people held power. But women had very little power so they had no vote therefore no influence. Generally Athens would have one main citizen who would drive his policies, working as a dictator but the people always had the power to take him out of power or exile him. An example of this is Pericle who was this main citizen, was taken out of power and then brought back into power later when everyone was scared about the plague and the invading Spartan forces. He was then later exiled to Persia.
