Spartan Girl Athlete

Undated statue of a Spartan girl athlete. Women in ancient Sparta were famous for their independence relative to that of other Greek women. In contrast to Athens, in Spartan society girls were reared much like boys. Female Spartan babies are remarked to have been significantly more nourished than other female Greek children and in some cases than Spartan male babies. Many believe this preference was shown to female babies because it was especially important to have physically fit women to bear children. In their youth, female Spartans ran around nude alongside the boys and competed in gymnastics, wrestling, foot and horse races, and other required physical trials, all in the public's view. Spartan women's clothing was simple and notoriously short. Women were also not allowed to grow their hair long.
