Now days everyone is equal and can vote, back in the ancient world not just in Athens but everywhere across the world women had little to no rights and most had to go through the military to have more rights as well...

Hope this helps :)

Athenian government only granted the rights of citizenship to men who owned property and who had completed their military training.
