Social Status of Women in Ancient Greece



Social Status
As opposed to China, women did not have a set class in ancient Greece. The men were primarily the ones who were considered part of the social class, where the women took care of domestic life.

View of Women
Women were viewed more of property or even an object rather than an actual human. They were expected to marry at a specific age arranged by their fathers. They were essentially passed off from one house to another like property and if anything were to happen to their husbands they would return to their family.
