Greek-women



**Greek Women** The role of women was seperate from the role of men.They were inferior to men and recieved very little education. They learned to read in school or at home and were taught simple facts of mythology, religion, and important musical instruments. Women mainly learned important household skills like spinning, weaving, sowing, cooking, and other househole jobs. They spent their free time with other women and only left the house to preform religious duties. Girls were married off at a young age, mostly in their teens, to men who were much older, mostly in their thirties. Their father would choose their husbands and once they were married they became property of thier husbands. One of the few jobs that women had was coordinating weddings, funerals, and other religious affairs.
