Konstantinos Kapparis challenges the traditional view that free women, citizen and metic, were excluded from the Athenian legal system.

Looking at existing fragmentary evidence largely from speeches, Kapparis reveals that it unambiguously suggests that free Women were far from invisible in the legal system and the life of the polis.
