The lives of Athenian girls were very different from the lives of girls today. Write a brief essay that explains the differences, giving real-life examples.

Answer: Differences between Athenian girls and girls in this present age are enormous. The differences are explained below.

Explanation:

There are a lot of differences between Athenian women and women in this present generation. Athenian women didn't have formal education but their mothers taught them the skills needed to manage a household. Athenian women often married older men and the wife's roles were to give birth to children, and manage the household. Athenian women did not usually interact with men who were not related to them. Women were also barred from participating in politics.

In the present generation, women have formal education and hold respectable positions in the society. Women are free to marry whoever they like and their role isn't limited to childbirth alone. Women also participate in politics.
