Answer:

Women could not hold political debate and couldn't vote, but women who were married to upper classmen had more freedom and influence.

Freeborn women in ancient Rome were citizens (cives),but could not vote or hold political office. Because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by Roman historians. But while Roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations.[
