upon seeing my next blog assignment I when ahead and search engined women of sparta, because I remembered there was something different about them.

Spartan women were taught reading and writing, very much unlike the normacy of the times, such as Athens women. They were also expected to protect themselves, which was somewhat interesting, as sparta, the war society, was based on men soldiers going to battle and conqueroring. Women of Sparta were extremely free of anything, they were given the ok to perform sports even topless with other men, and they were never seen as anything else but a competitor. really the only thing Spartan women were expected to do was to stayt healthy and to produce strong children. But of course spartan women were not only for marriage and procreation. namely they could own and control their property. most of the time they were expected to protect and take in a husband's land if they had been gone for too long. they will go and guard it until the man of the household returns.
