Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike their Athenian counterparts, Spartan women could legally own and inherit property and they were usually better educated. The surviving written sources are limited and largely from a non-Spartan viewpoint.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike other city-states from Ancient Greece, in Sparta, women were not mainly responsible for domestic duties such as cooking, producing clothes, and housekeeping.
