When were woman allowed to vote in ancient Greece?
The status of women in Ancient Greece was extremely low, barring them from taking part in any kind of democratic activity such as voting or holding office. There are few exceptions, one female did become an office holder in the city state of Thebes during the Golden Age (c 450 BC). Women in the classical period, especially those of the upper middle class and aristocracy were not even allowed to leave home without escort and were confined in those homes to the kitchen, the nursery, the bedroom and the Gynekia, a parlour where they could congregate with other female realtions and neighbours.
