When a girl was born in Ancient Athens, her family would put a piece of wool on her head indicting her future as a homemaker. These symbols suggest how the girls were valued in Ancient Athens. They spent their early years living in the women's part of the house playing with toys. The lives of girls and women were entirely focused on the home. Girls were educated by their mothers. Some were taught to read, write, but most learned household skills -spinning, childcare, etc.- they need these skills when they're adults. When a girl turned 15, their father would choose a husband and she would go live in his house and start a family of her own. Women had no citizenship back then, so they all needed a male guardian, either her brother, father, or her husband will do.
