But how much can we know about women, say, 2,000 years ago? So, when we talk about the lives of women in the classical period, sometimes we're tempted to compare it to the modern day, and that can cause some problems because that's not really a fair comparison. So, it's more useful to see how different women living in different societies in the same time period compare to one another. That can make their differences a lot more salient and give us a better idea. Of course, it's hard to know the history of women back then in general. We don't necessarily have all the best sources. But we can try to piece together some understanding of what their daily lives were like.
