Editing

Hi everyone! I will be editing this page as a part of my college course for the next couple of weeks. I’m planning on focusing my revisions on organization with some minor content/source additions. I’d like for this article to be similar to Women in Classical Athens, which has achieved good article status. If you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns feel free to message me!

I'm thinking of making the 'Matriarchal Duties' a sub-section of the 'Marriage' section and possibly adding other subsections. I was thinking of creating one for the Spartan marriage ritual/newlywed expectations that citizens had to abide by, since Lycurgus had some interesting laws about this. If anyone has any ideas for this please let me know! --Hrmailhos (talk) 02:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
