Detailed explanation-1: -According to Spartan ideology, the primary role of adult women was to bear and raise healthy children. This focus on childbearing was likely responsible for the emphasis on physical fitness in Spartan women, as it was believed that physically stronger women would have healthier children.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spartan women had more rights and enjoyed greater autonomy than women in any other Greek city-state of the Classical Period (5th-4th centuries BCE). Women could inherit property, own land, make business transactions, and were better educated than women in ancient Greece in general.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike other Greek women, Spartan women had equal rights with men, except for voting rights. Since men were in the military and often away from home, the women had full authority over their households.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spartan women were known to be independent-minded, even if they did not attend the same type of schools as men. Contrary to most Roman women, they received a formal education but did not play any role in the military.
