Athens Democracy

I personally think democracy in ancient Athens was fair for the men, but not for the women. Women weren't considered citizens of Athens, while the men were. There were some restrictions on voting for the men though. An age limit of 20, you had to have completed military training, you had to have been born in Athens, and both of your parents had to have been born in Athens too. Back to the unfairness for women. They were considered to be possessed by demons, and had to stay cloaked when they went out in public. Also, most women were kept as slaves. Also, married women were considered to be the posession of the man, and she could only unveil herself for him. Women were treated like items, not like living human beings. I think Athenian democracy could be improved. Some ways I think they could improve are: Equality for the women, making the rules on who could vote less strict, making the rules on who was counted as a citizen less strict, and not using slaves. From my point of view, Athenian democracy was ok, but could use some improvement.
