Duties of Greek Democracy

It seems to me that Greek society revolved around the city-state, and I found it interesting that all the citizens were involved in politics.  They did not have a conventional Bill of Rights as we established in America, because Greek citizens did not have rights, but only duties to the given city-state. Overall, the Greek world was dominated by hundreds of independent city-states.

It is important to note however, that women, slaves, peasants, were not considered citizens in Greek Society.  Therefore, the city-states decisions were made by the males and they were bound together by blood ties.  It is interesting to me that this Greek society would not qualify as a democracy in today's world. It would be very interesting to learn what Greek society expected of women in their society and to learn the major contributions they made to the city-state.
