Women in Ancient Societies: Athens, Sparta, Rome, and the Medieval Period. This 14-page, 8-source piece analyzes the role of women in four ancient societies: Athens, Sparta, Rome, and the Medieval Period. The author discusses how women were viewed in each society, often discussing their legal, social, and sexual status. In each case, the author shows how women were often able to exploit opportunity and achieve at least some degree of influence in their society, while they were always important in how each society functioned. The author compares and contrasts each society throughout the piece, concluding that despite the restrictions placed on them by these societies, women have always been able to exert themselves in often subtle but important ways. 14 pgs.
