Ancient Greece

Would I like to live in Ancient Greece? I absolutely would not!


Back in Ancient Greece, female were treated badly and were not allowed to vote or own property. They also did not receive education as they did not go to school and they had to stay at home to learn to make cloth and cook.

They were not allowed to own a house and the only way to get to live in one when their father passed away was to live in a male relatives house or to get married and live in the house owned by their husbands.

It was also against the law for women to act and males had to act the female parts of the plays.

Although Ancient Greeks were clever, I would not have liked to live with them!
