Wishing you great luk

Spartan women played an important role in their society as the bearers of children, the mother warriors as heiresses and managers of esattes. The helot women were incharge of household duties and agrricultural functions.

The female voice of Sparta is not heard, Xenophon is perhaps our most reliable source, as he actually spent some time in Sparta in the late 5th and 4th century. His evidence is therfore contemporary but biased because of his great admiration for the Spartans.

Aristotle, writting in the 4th century, was mainly critical of the Spartan society as many can make note of because of his ancient information.
The women of Sparta were given more freedom then those other Greek cities e.g.(ATHENS), which shocked and disturbed some of the ancient writters. Basically, the Spatan women were highly encouraged to take part in their active society.......
