Said that it’s possible that in different areas women had more rights. Think of Sapho of Lesbos, for instance (though she had to go to exile anyhow). Or Hypparchia the Cynic; she obviously made her own choice of lifestyle and husband in spite of her father’s opposition. But both cases are peripherical Greeks (Hipparchia was from Maroneia, a colony in Thrace), where maybe local customs weighted somewhat.

You see the same with Romans (who thought pretty badly of the liberal egalitarian customs of their Etruscan neighbours) and Germanics: women had little power in most Indoeuropean cultures, though among Celts and Illyrians you do find some notable exceptions clearly.

Among Greeks, apart from the examples above and surely some other exception I may have forgotten about, you find no notable women – and certainly no queen nor political leader like among British Celts or Illyrians.
