Women's rights in Greece and Rome were more of my specialty -- especially ancient Greece. And yes, all this was how it was -- women had few rights under #Athenian #patriarchy.
#LegalStatus of Women in #Ancient Greece
Women were dependent on fathers, husbands, or #kyroi (appointed guardians). They could not own property, and were considered wards of their fathers or kyroi.
In #500BCE, fathers could sell their unmarried daughters “who had lost their #virginity” (Blundell, 69) into slavery.
“#Inheritance was #patrilineal” (Blundell, 66) – even if a daughter was the only child, she could not inherit her father’s property – it would be passed down to “her sons” (Blundell, 66), or “more distant [male] relatives” (Blundell, 66).
