In Ancient Greece, women, slaves, and foreign residents (metics) were not allowed to vote, hold property, or participate in civic life. Citizenship and the associated rights were typically reserved for free-born males of Athenian descent, limiting political participation to a small segment of the population. This exclusion reflected the societal norms and values of the time, which prioritized male dominance in public and political spheres.
