1 answer

A and C are the correct options:

A) Women were allowed to go out all the time by their husbands. In Sparta, women had more freedom to move around the city compared to Athenian women. They were not confined to their homes and were permitted to participate in public events and gatherings.

C) Women were taught to fight and be tough. Spartan society placed emphasis on physical fitness and military training for both men and women. Girls received physical education and were encouraged to participate in athletic activities, which made them physically stronger and more independent.

B) Women were protected by guards at all times: This statement is not accurate. While women in Sparta were likely to have the protection of armed guards during times of war, it was not a constant presence in their daily lives.

D) They could beat up the men: This statement is also not accurate. While Spartan women were known for their physical training and endurance, they did not have the freedom to physically dominate men. Spartan society still maintained gender roles and hierarchy, with men being the primary warriors and defenders of the city.
