Women were treated differently in different regions and poles (city states), though always considered inferior to men. In Athens they were very limited, and women of nobility were basically just emprisonned in their houses. Ordinary women were allowed to go outside to fetch water from public springs.In Sparta women were honored because they gave birth to new soldiers for the polis, and had several rights Athenian women did not have, they could own private property for example, and were usually managing everything cause their men folk were always off to war.
SO it depends on the region and the polis.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
